Wanting to discover a different culture, be more independent, and work on English skills; these are just some of the reasons why four teens decided to enroll in the International
Cultural Exchange Services (ICES) program which brought them to the UP. ICES is an international nonprofit student academic and exchange organization that according to its website, www.icesusa.org, “is dedicated to promoting a peaceful world by increasing international awareness and cultural understanding.” The foreign exchange students have traveled from Italy, Slovakia, and Spain and are finding their groove at L’Anse Area
School (LAS), being welcomed by administrators, staff and their host families. To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
