Whitney's Going To France For Spring Break

Bon Jour! I guess Whitney will be brushing up on some conversational French. Whitney was chosen to be one of the 20 delegates representing Idaho Falls Mayors Youth Advisory Council. MYAC (consisting of all 4 area high school students) meets twice a month with the mayor to promote community involvement. They host self esteem camps for high risk children, comm-UNITY Fest, a New Years Dance plus endless other service projects and causes throughout the community. MYAC was invited to attend a public hearing for the licensing process for AREVA the new Uranium Enrichment facility being built out on the desert east of Idaho Falls. The youth read a letter supporting the decision to have AREVA in our area. AREVA was so pleased that they decided to host 20 students with an all exspense trip to France. The problem is they have more then 20 MYAC kids. So they were chosen based on peer vote, ranking in how involved they have been in MYAC and then had to write an essay. The last two months she was counting down till she turned 16 with a chain with dating quotes on it now we'll have to make a chain with 67 french words on it till March 22! She has been learning all about some of the famous landmarks in AP Euro. This will be an amazing experience plus she will be with one of her best friends. Au Revoir!
