About Our Program

Welcome to our summer school site for the Storm Lake High School ESL Department where we will share our adventures within our very own community throughout our two week program.

 

Groups of students will be blogging about their experiences and learning here. There is also a gallery of all the photos that have been taken on our trips here.

 

Please enjoy and comment! We hope you have as much fun viewing as we did learning!
