Japanese Teacher To Visit Graettinger This Fall
Graettinger Education Association will bring a Japanese English teacher to Graettinger at the start of the school year. The host family will be the Leland Stiles family. The teacher will attend local school to learn about the American education system. The ISEA, in cooperation with Council on International Educational Exchange and Youth for Understanding, plans to place 42 teachers in Iowa August 28 through September 13. The program began in 1968 to improve English teaching in Japan and foster U.S. Japanese understanding. Before Graettinger, the teacher will study English at Fordham University in New York. Amusement park owners in Arnolds Park say weekend lake events this season are nearly ready.
