Student ambassador to visit England and France

 

Jacob Guerra, a seventh-grade student at Kenneth White Junior High School in Mission, has been asked to travel to England and France as part of the People to People program.

People to People, an organization founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower, has been sending students since 1956 to all parts of the world to learn and experience different cultures and meet students their age.

Guerra and the rest of the group from the Valley will be spending 20 days in England and France. The group is scheduled to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre museum, Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.

Jacob will also visit the sites of Omaha and Utah beaches as well as visit Wiltshire, Sultgrave, Warwick, Oxford and Woodstock.
