Students from China explored Sandusky islands
The Sandusky area hosted a special group of tourists this month, offering small-scale samplings of U.S. culture to a group of visiting Chinese students. Nine teenaged students from China's Bright Foreign Language School explored the region July 6 to 15, 2014 as part of a lengthy trip across the nation. They included the Sandusky area as a destination because of a partnership between Perkins High School and its former Chinese language teacher, Tang Xiaosu, who returned to China in 2012. The school is one of a handful across Ohio offering Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language course.
Outcomes:
The next step: collect enough cash to send a group of Perkins High School students to China as early as 2015, said Briar Middle School principal Steven Finn.
