<sh>Future Foreign Exchange Program?
<bt>
Each year, the Fairfax County/Southwest Virginia Student Exchange program brings together high school students from urban, Northern Virginia and students from the rural counties of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains.
During the week of March 16 - 24, students visited both Southwest Virginia and Fairfax County. They stayed in each other's homes. They visited each other’s schools.
“Fairfax County students were struck by the deep sense of community they found in Southwest Virginia,” said Del. Kristen Amundson. “They had never visited a school where students did not need locks on their lockers.
“Students from Southwest Virginia were impressed with the ethnic diversity of our student population. They were also amazed by the traffic that choked the roadways.”
