Program: Felix from Stuttgart Germany, our exchange student, gave a very interesting presentation. At home in Germany his family is very busy and very talented musically, his mother and brothers sing, Felix says he is not too good at it, but he does like to play the French Horn and has been in many orchestras that traveled to Japan, Spain and around Europe. His school class in Germany is small and geared toward music.
Since Felix has been in America he has done a lot, went to 6 Flags, played soccer for Clinton School making it to the semi-finals, made many friends with other exchange students and has cross-country skied for the first time ever. Thanksgiving for Felix was good, he said “they ate a lot and watched football – which was very American”
