International Student Reception

(STILLWATER, OKLA • Oct. 3, 2010) — On Thursday afternoon, September 23, the Sister Cities Council hosted international students who are attending Stillwater High School this year at a reception at the high school. For recognition purposes we divided the students into two groups with one group as exchange students who are here through an exchange program such as Wings of Rotary and one group as international students who are living here with their parents who are here for a period of time while attending OSU or for some other reason. The eleven students in attendance from nine different countries were welcomed to Stillwater by Vice-Mayor Chuck Hopkins who presented the exchange students with a proclamation and a sister cities pin while the international students were presented a pin.  Also in attendance were students from the International Club at the high school plus teachers at the high school and host families for the exchange students as well as family members of the international students. The students in attendance are here from around the world including Denmark, France, Germany, Spain, Lebanon, Mexico, China, Indonesia and Thailand. Vice-Mayor Hopkins said in his remarks that he had visited several of the home countries of several of the students which was exciting to them. We hope the students have a great time in Stillwater and return to their homes with wonderful memories and many new friends.
