  • Welcome to our Buddies from Cuernavaca, Mexico


    For the first time in 3 years, PMFS students welcomed their ‘buddies’ from our partner school in Cuernavaca, Colegio Williams. With signs and shouts of joy, our 5th and 6th graders and their families met their buddies at the airport yesterday evening. The Mexican students will stay in Pennsylvania for 2 weeks with our families and get to learn about American daily life (who knew so few had ever tried sausage for breakfast?) and culture. First stop today: downtown Philadelphia for Williams and PMFS students. Many thanks to Mexican Exchange Director Leann and 5th/6th grade teacher Tiffany for preparing the kids for the challenging and rewarding task of being a host.
