The Birds & the Bees and Some Trees

Allegra, co vaia? This will no longer be an undecipherable

sentence in a foreign language. The students learned about the

fourth official language of Switzerland, which is also one of the

Lunch Break
"I love food! The ice tea is really sweet!" -David

We headed out to the mountains.

After a steep hike, we spent the afternoon clearing brush to make way for new tree growth.

"From rafting in rivers to hiking Swiss mountains, I have

experienced life-changing moments I will never forget." -Nicole

" I never thought I'd love nature, but the mountains and

waters here in Switzerland leave me speechless. I

never want to leave this beautiful place." - Sunaina

The work was hard but in years to come there will be a thriving forest.
