Finally, we are still looking for Fall (September through December) home-stay hosts for our wonderful teaching intern, Mr. TaeHoon Kwon from Korea.  The Tuscan PTA is thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in the International Internship Program cultural exchange for a second year; Mr. Kwon is already an integral part of the Tuscan community, partnering closely with Tuscan staff to teach our children about Korean culture... art, music, language, food and many other customs.  As part of this program, Tuscan families serve as hosts, providing room and (limited) board to the intern.  If you are interested in being a host during the time period between September-December 2009, please contact Jennifer Weiss-Wolf asap.
