During the most recent sitting of the WSN, we had some guests briefly drop in to observe the proceedings who were participating in the Round Square program.

Round Square is a worldwide association of more than 80 schools on five continents sharing unique and ambitious goals. Students attending Round Square schools make a strong commitment, beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility. This is achieved by participating in community service, work projects, exchange programmes and adventuring, which can, and often does, take students half way around the world.

As a result of this program, in our chamber were young people from India, USA, Canada, and France, to name a few.   

We had the chance to meet one of them in person, Isabel Reed, from the state of New Jersey, USA. Isabel, a grade 11 student, says "Round Square allows you to do exchanges with other students.  As a group, we come together and put ideas into action." When asked what she thought of the Nass Valley Isabel said, "beautiful, it‚Äôs so different being in a rural setting compared to where I
come from."

Isabel and her fellow students will eventually return to Vancouver, and on August 9, they leave Vancouver to return to their respective homes.

 We wish all the students of Round Square luck in their future endeavors.
