Birmingham Public Schools is offering a new school exchange opportunity. This is a two- to three-week program between Birmingham Public Schools and its new German sister school, Neues Gymnasium in Rüsselsheim, Germany. This program is open to all students from Groves and Seaholm.

There are two ways for families to participate in the exchange. The first way is as a host. The second, as a full exchange student.

There will be an informational meeting for all families interested in the exchange on Monday, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the White Pine room at the administrative building at 31301 Evergreen Road.
