School’s ending last spring meant free-time and sunshine for most, but not all. Twenty of KHS’ German III and IV students went to Hamburg, Germany to live with a student and go to school with him/her for three weeks. In turn, the KHS students who went overseas last June will house their “sibling” and take them to KHS to see what life is like in the United States this October.
