Lower School Student Selected to Participate in International Exchange Program


Samantha DuPree has been accepted to join the People to People Fifth and Sixth grade Student Ambassador delegation traveling to areas of England and France this summer as a rising Fifth Grade student. Acceptance into this program is based on a demonstration of leadership, citizenship, a desire to learn about diverse cultures, and a willingness to venture into the world in the name of peace, friendship and understanding.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, founder of the People to People program, believed that the path to peace was paved by shared experiences and understanding. Further, he believed that ordinary citizens of different nations could solve their problems and live harmoniously. Student Ambassadors are given the opportunity to reach out to other citizens of the world in the spirit of Eisenhower’s vision.

As a member of the student delegation, Samantha will have the opportunity to learn about cultures new to her, travel to new places, and to forge new friendships. As Samantha participates in this shared journey, she and the other students will see the world and themselves through new eyes and begin to develop skill in cultural competency.
