Host Families Needed

School year 2012-2013

 

 

The Nacel International Program at Holy Name Jr/Sr High School is in need of host homes for students arriving in August 2012. They attend local Catholic Schools on F1 visas, to obtain a diploma and go on to college here in the US as well. The Nacel program is fully accredited and welcomes all types of families to apply. Students' families pay all the school related expenses. Students have insurance and spending money. Hosts provide a room with a desk,meals,some transportation and moral support and in return receive a generous monthly stipend. Please consider helping and contact Lyn Gordon with Nacel for information 508 892 8027 or studentprograms@hotmail.com. All inquiries will be replied to. Thank you - please check out our website as well:

T.E.S.S. The Exchange Students Service would like to meet families that would be interested in hosting an international student who will attend Holy Name High School. It is a great opportunity for your child to meet and live with a teenager from another culture and perhaps offset their tuition expenses. Each family will receive a generous, income tax-free monthly stipend.

 

If you are interested in discussing this opportunity, please call or email us. Ask for Ron Reisler. Prior experience as a host family is not necessary. We will conduct an in-person interview and all hosts must submit to a CORI questionnaire.

To all in the Holy Name Family:

With Holy Week  just around the corner, we are all reminded of the love our Heavanly Father has for us as he sent us his only Son to sacrafice his life so  our sins might be forgiven and we could all be born into eternal life through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

As  Catholics and Christians we should be sure to take some extra time during this last week in Lent to say Thank You to our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for all the blessings they have bestowed upon us and for the many gifts we have all been given that are celebrated during Easter.

While we celebrate during Easter and we look forward to our spring vacation, we must all remember there is still a great deal of work that still must be accomplished.  While we have had 80 degree weather in March, we are still many weeks away from the end of the year.  We ask your help from home to support your students in helping them keep focused on their work and finish academically strong during this school year.

We wish you all a very blessed Holy Week and Easter,

Dr. Audette
