Eleven family and friends from Venezuela decided to make the most of their Christmas holidays by traveling to picturesque Boston and studying English as a group. None of the students had ever seen snow before, but old man winter did not disappoint them, giving them and the city a beautiful white Christmas. Children and adults alike took advantage of the snow and spend many afternoons after class sledding, making snow angels and snowmen.
The group was led by Lucia and Esperanza Perez and included adults and children as young as eleven years old. There was a special feeling of family at the school for the holidays. Teachers and staff agreed it was a Christmas to remember. |

The holidays in Boston were well supplied with plenty of snow and many of our students who come from warm climates experienced making snowballs for the first time.
