Students ready for trip of a lifetime

March 2, 2000 By admin

Several dozen Iowa high schoolers are gearing up for what’s likely the biggest trip so far in their young lives. The delegates have been chosenfor a “special ambassador” program. Janelle Holden, a freshman at West Delaware High School in Manchester, made the list.As part of People to People Student Ambassadors, Holden will be seeing France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. She says tuition for the program is about five-thousand dollars, which she’ll have to pay for by selling candles, candy bars and through holding a middle school dance this Friday night.The Ambassadors program was started by President Eisenhower in 1956.
