Today was the day our host students have been preparing for over the past 5 years...today was their Primary Years Program. This was an Exhibition of a culmination of everything they learned since first grade! It was great to watch them present their projects, presentations, sing and dance. They were also awarded their diplomas and there were many speakers!
Primary Years Program (PYP) Exhibition that is the culmination of all learning through the primary grades - first through fifth grades!
The PYP exhibition took most of the day. I managed to get a photo of each of the Graham delegates with their host moms or families.

In the evening, Reni had a birthday party. Most of the children attended the party. It was a Casino party where the children played games, won money, ate lots of food and then bid on auctioned prizes. It was a great fiesta! I really enjoyed the party because Reni is my "Mexican daughter" and I got a chance to meet all of her wonderful family!
Reni hosted a birthday party that was attended by many of the students of the class, including most of the Ohio delegation!
This is a photo of Reni's mama, grandma, GREAT grandma, GREAT grandpa, myself and Addie
