We do cupcakes, and I make a card and
all the other students sign it. I try to
make sure they’re happy,” she said. “I
want them to be able to call me if they
have any issues.”
So far, the program has been a
successful endeavor for Lynnfield.
At its January 21 meeting, Lynnfield’s
School Committee voted unanimously
to continue the district’s participation in
the program and agreed to accept up to
10 Educatius students during the 2020-
2021 academic year.
“The program works really well and
we have had kids come back and visit
after deciding to go to college here,”
Cleary said in January.
“It gives our kids a great experience,
too, in that they see what they have
and what everybody else has. We even
had students come for a half year who
wanted to change to full year.”
Cleary also reported minimal
problems from students and host families
and credited Langill’s hard work.
“Since Barbara Langill has taken
over, she has done a dynamite job and we
have a number of families still hosting
multiple kids year after year,” he said.
As for Langill, she just wants to make
sure the experience is an enriching one
for Lynnfield’s students, both American
and international.
“To have kids interact with other
cultures is so important for (promoting)
diversity,” she said. “When I worked as a
youth minister, part of our job was to get
kids out of Lynnfield and go on youth
mission trips. If you’ve only lived here
and you’ve only experienced this, you
have no idea what’s really happening in
the world. I think this is important.”
