PSE is looking for a loving host family for a 10th-grade Italian girl that will attend Edina High School for the '26-'27 school year. Giulia, who is a US citizen, was raised in Italy and lives there currently. Giulia will come with her own spending money and health insurance. PSE asks the host family to provide a bedroom/place to study and three meals per day. Any meals eaten outside the home are paid for by the student. There is a local person in the community that supports the student and the host family. It is a wonderful way to bring a great cultural exchange within your own family. Please contact Cheryl Da Silva, PSE Regional Manager <a href="mailto:cdasilva@pse-edu.org" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">cdasilva@pse-edu.org</a> or 617-710-5700. <a href="http://www.pse-edu.org" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">pse-edu.org</a>
