French experience offered

Sparta - An exchange program for French students is seeking host families for Feb. 16 through March 1. Coming this winter are 31 students and three female teachers. The students are between 13 and 15 years old. There are 14 girls and 11 boys in the group. Program coordinator Lorraine Frazier explained they are fully insured for health, accident and liability. Frazier’s group, O.C L.L.A.A., is headquartered in Nice, France. She has been with the group for 15 years and said they have been very successful at building French/American relationships that last a lifetime. A second group of 17-year-old students and two teachers are also scheduled to visit this area in July 2007. Frazier will provide details of that group as they become available.
