Enrich your family’s life and host a Danish exchange student this fall! In October, students from Denmark will visit OHS as part of an exchange program. This year’s group of 25 students includes 9 boys and 16 girls. Students arrive on Friday, October 5 and depart on Tuesday, October 9. Over the weekend, host families have the opportunity to become a second family to the Danish students while welcoming them into our local “bear dens.” On Monday and Tuesday, Danish students will attend school with their host student, visiting classes and presenting information about Denmark.
