HOMESTAY PROGRAM

The Linfield community is enriched each year by the addition of students from around the world; domestic students currently sit side by side with students from Korea, Norway, New Zealand, China, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries. This International Program is vital as Linfield continues to address the global nature of our world, especially in the realm of higher education and in the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). 

 

Linfield offers students the choice of an "in-house" Host Family Homestay program, and we are currently looking for families who will welcome our international students into their homes and make them a part of their American family. There will be an interest meeting in HS Room 114 TONIGHT, May 8, 2014 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. to address the following considerations:

  • Host home application process (includes fingerprinting, home visit, etc.)
  • Expectations from students / host families (including bedroom, Internet access, etc.)
  • Financial arrangements (hosting includes a monthly stipend)

If you and your family "have love and room to share," and if you welcome the opportunity to make the world a little smaller and would like to be considered as a host family, please email Gay Bennett or contact her office at (951) 676-8111 ext. 3203.

MUSIC UNDER THE STARS

May 16, 2014   6:30 p.m. 

Please save the date & plan to join us in the High School plaza on Friday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. for an evening of "summer fun tunes," featuring performances by Linfield's instrumental and vocal ensembles (Elementary, Middle School and High School). Dinner and pre-concert festivities begin at 5:00 p.m.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to purchase additional pieces of portable Steel Deck staging in order to fully replace the deteriorating and increasingly unsafe wooden stage we use each spring in the gym. We already use the Steel Deck pieces we currently own for events on all three campuses; please join us and help complete the stage!

SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS

May 22-25, 2014  

7:00 p.m. each night; 2:00 p.m. weekend matinees

"Goin' courting" has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie!  Set in Oregon in 1850, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers tells the story of Milly, a young bride living in the 1850's Oregon wilderness. Her plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage backfires when the brothers, in their enthusiasm, kidnap six women from a neighboring town to be their brides. Bursting with the rambunctious energy of the original film, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is full of boisterous fun and romance that harkens back to the glory days of the movie musical. Make sure to e-mail theatertickets@linfield.com to reserve your tickets!
