The program began in March
The exchange program kicked off in March, with students from Independent Day School's Corbett Campus and Colegios Ramon y Cajal in Madrid staying with host families and attending classes at the opposite school. Seventh and eighth-grade students from IDS-CC traveled to Spain, and fourth through eighth-grade students from the school in Madrid came to Carrollwood to continue a sister schools program that started a few years ago. The purpose of the program was to allow students to experience another culture. Today, the 12 students from Spain will return home with their three teachers, according to Mary Beth Erskine of IDS-CC. But before they go, students will share memories of their experience - and have a pizza party send-off. Come join the …
