Are you interested in opening your heart and home to an international student attending Lynnfield High School?

Can you provide a warm and supportive family environment for a young person from another country who is studying in the United States? If so, you may be interested in becoming a host famiiy for an Educatius International student attending LHS.

Beginning in September of 2013 we will be enrolling a small number of students who will be attending here through the Educatius international educational program. Many people have found that being a host family can be a positive and rewarding experience for everyone in the family - often the source of amazing opportunities and lifelong friendships.

Please know that host families will have support and assistance from a local coordinator. To help defer costs, host families will receive a stipend of $700 per month and may host up to two students. To learn more or to apply to become a host family, please write Jodi Del Razo of Educatius international, Jodi.delrazo@educatius.org or call her at 617-543-8626.

Sincerely,

Thomas VV. Jefferson, EdD.

Superintendent of Schools
