Hello to Austrian and American
parents!
Well! Today we have 16 smiling new
faces living in our town of Cannon Falls
and going to school with us!!! All of the
students arrived safely on Saturday
afternoon. They were tired after 23 hours
of being awake, but happy. The
Minneapolis customs people unfortunately
were rather strict, and several students
had their bags searched for quite a long
time, but everything worked out okay. The
brunch on Sunday was very nice. About 125
people were there to greet the Austrian
students. Our fire department brought
THREE fire engines to the school for a
group photo. The Speaker of the Minnesota
House came and gave a short greeting and
speech. We are having a wonderful time so
far, and we send a big "Thank
you!" to all of the Austrian parents
for sending your children to Cannon
Falls. We love them! Attached are several
photo files in Microsoft Imager software.
These are photos from Mrs. Cole's digital
camera (thank you very much!!!) ... I
hope that all of you (parents and
teachers) enjoy them!!!!
Thanks, Ellen Austin
