Short-term Foreign Exchange Experience: River Falls High School senior Sydney Johnson shared photographic highlights of her three-week exchange experience in southeastern France near Grenoble and Lyon. She showed pictures of her host family and places they visited. Since she was there during Bastille Day, which is the French equivalent of America's Independence Day, Sydney got to see fireworks on the Eiffel Tower. She wants to return to France for a longer period before she enters college and plans for a semester abroad in college. She answered questions about her career interests, and she talked about time her family spent with the host sister that came to the US with her.
Rotary Camp Enterprise: River Fall High School senior Johan Valentine and junior Perry Kotz described their participation in Rotary Camp Enterprise. Rotary Camp Enterprise gives student experience with business principles activities and also showed them that getting to know your business partner makes negotiation and teamwork easier. The experience consisted of team building activities and simulated business activities such as selecting a product, organizing people into teams and making a presentation on that product. Both Johan and Perry were CEO's of their small teams, which added to what they learned. They also showed flexibility in speaking to Rotary without their slides due to video system problems. The two also answered questions about future plans.
