MHS Drama Club presents Number the Stars
On April 26-28, MHS Drama Club presents the touching WWII drama, Number the Stars, and the community is warmly invited. Many adults might recall reading this famous book in school or hearing their children describe it as a favorite of the their language arts class. Set in 1943, the play honors the heroes of the Danish Resistance who, with the help of many Danish fishermen and their small fishing boats, helped ferry thousands of persecuted Danish Jews over the sea to Sweden to thwart Nazi mass deportation efforts. Follow the Johansen family children as their family rushes to save their threatened friends. Adapted from the acclaimed Newbery Medal youth lit novel by Lois Lowry, this dramatic play is suitable for grades three and up and celebrates the power of friendship and tolerance.

AFS Foreign Exchange Volunteers Needed
Each year, AFS Intercultural Programs welcomes more than 2,300 international high school students to the US. These are outstanding young people who were selected in their home countries to study in US high schools and are eager to experience what it’s like to live in America. Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience and is a wonderful way for you and your family to bring more understanding into the world.
Local AFS Volunteers will support you and your hosted student throughout your experience to help you both receive the most from your time together. You provide a bed and meals for your student, but most importantly, you should be eager and excited to share your life and activities while providing the same kind of care, support, and comfort as you would to your own child or family members. AFS welcomes all kinds of families.
Host an AFS Exchange Student and build bridges of intercultural understanding. It’s a gift you’ll give and receive. Most families have no idea how much they’ll gain until they say yes!
To find out about hosting an AFS Exchange Student, call Deb Bursinger at 262-490-7902 or 1-800-AFS-INFO.
