Sevec French Exchange Program

Kelsey went to St.Ceasar Quebec in early May on an exchange program called Sevec, this was done through her French class at school and several of the kids participated. Then last week Laurieanne and her classmates came to Clearwater, as Kelsey spent her week at Laurieanne's house she spent her week at ours on the farm. They had a great time in both Quebec and BC. Quite an experience for Kelsey who is quite shy but is coming out of it, so when she said she would like to take this trip we made it possible, that was a big step for her. Then when the Quebec students were here they got to go to Jasper for a couple of days and see lots of sites there as well as here.
