Dear Exchange Community,
I know that I can speak on behalf of our Walker students when I say that our time spent in Argentina was truly special. We met so many wonderful families and we experienced so many aspects of Argentine culture. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our peers and colleagues at the Westminster Schools who shared this Exchange with us. Furthermore, we would like to thank all of our friends and families in Rafaela and more specifically the La Plaza School community, for opening their homes and hearts to receive us.
Here, we would like to share with you some pictures of our travels. We hope you enjoy!
Until 2009!!!!
Saludos,

I am really amazed at the impact the visit of Westminster students has had on our school community. There were two Atlantians in our class in Level 4 and their contributions were outstanding. My students are much younger than the kids who visited us so it was a great experience for them and they are all very enthusiastic about both hosting foreign students next year and participating in exchanges in future years.
It has also been very positive as regards teachers who do not teach English. They had always been relactant to have exchange students in their classes because they feared that the discipline would be disrupted or that kids would waste time. I have met several of them after the people from Westminster left our school and they have all said that they really saw how important this experience has been for our students, how amazing it was to have these almost stars integrated to our school community for two weeks and how much the kids form Westminster have learned about our culture during their visit.
Two thumbs up for the successful and enriching experience! Let's keep our fingers crossed that this program will go on for many years!

I am really amazed at the impact the visit of Walker students has had on our school community. Five of them visited our class in Level 4.

I have met several of them since you left our school and they have all said that they really saw how important this experience has been for our students, how amazing it was to have these almost stars integrated to our school community for two weeks and how much the kids form Westminster have learned about our culture during their visit. They have all enjoyed the American teachrs participation in our staff meetings because sharing their experiences as regards activities fostering personality development and community service activities organization has taught all of us, who work in a very young school, how things are done by people who have years of experience.
Two thumbs up for the successful and enriching experience! Let's keep our fingers crossed that this program will go on for many years!
