Local Students To Travel To China

By

Several students from Tech Valley High School will travel to China later this year as the school continues its partnership with a high school there.
The TVHS students will travel to Beijing and Tianjin, China with their counterparts from the Schoharie Central School. The delegation will leave the U.S. on March 29 and return April 6. While in Tianjin, the students will visit TVHS sister school Tianjin High School No. 41 as well as Schoharie sister school Tianjin High School No. 13.
“The students will undertake the most authentic way of learning the Chinese language and culture that China has to offer – by experiencing it,” said TVHS Mandarin Chinese teacher Sophia Hsia.
They will also visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other cultural landmarks in Beijing and surrounding areas.
It’s the fourth year TVHS students have traveled to China. TVHS also hosts a delegation from Tianjin each year.
Local students traveling to China for TVHS are junior Elizabeth Cass from Berlin and sophomore Madeleine Welty from Averill Park.
