WHETHER DRIVING or RIDING
A unique gift for ASSE Students & Families
Many of our exchange students do not have a middle names. Host families could create a special middle name for their student just for fun and reveal it on Christmas Day!
Holidays & Homesickness
During breaks like this, routines change for host families and students. Families may have expectations about student behavior during the holidays (such as helping out more around the house), and students may have their own ideas about what being on vacation should be like (such as sleeping late). The key is to encourage families to communicate their expectations to students, and for students to ask what's expected of them. In addition, your students may be homesick. Help families to remind students that the best way to help with homesickness is not to isolate themselves or turn to social media, but rather to get out and be with their host families and their friends.

Christmas is a time when we remember everyone we love.
As I was putting up Christmas decorations from around the globe, I was reminded of how blessed I am working with amazing young international students and their precious host families and of course, an incredible Area Rep Team!
Best Wishes to you during the holidays and all year long!
