Mt. Blue High School students receive invite to China

A group of Mt. Blue High School students could soon have the opportunity to take a week-long trip to China after receiving an invitation from a Beijing school that the district has contact with through its international students program. The trip was initially scheduled for Nov. 5; however, it has been delayed until the spring so students will have enough time to obtain visas and passports. A group of about 15 students expressed interest in going, and a willingness to pay the $2,000 necessary to cover travel expenses. The initial trip was approved by the Regional School Unit 9 board of directors last month; however, since the date of the trip has been changed, directors will most likely have to consider the trip a second time.
Outcomes: 
Dalrymple said the trip is also an opportunity to strengthen Mt. Blue High School’s international student program. The program was started three years ago, with the goal of helping to fund the district’s world language program, including bringing back language offerings to the elementary school level.
