COMMUNITY
Program seeks host families for students
Host families are being sought for international exchange high school students who are coming to the Summerlin area for the 2007-08 school year.
The students will live with families to better understand American culture. The STS Foundation, a nonprofit student exchange organization, has helped facilitate these relationships for the past 20 years.
Students have their own spending money and health insurance. The host family provides a separate bed, family meals and a safe environment.
Those who are interested can call 1-800-522-4678, e-mail seant@stsfoundation.org, or visit www.stsfoundation.org.
