Every year, Homestead welcomes a new group of exchange students from all over the world. This year, five girls have been added to the Homestead family: Mehzabin from Bangladesh, Giorgia from Italy, Claudia from Spain, Noora from Finland and Mathilde from Denmark.

“When I landed in the Washington D.C. airport, I literally cried it was so amazing,” Mehzabin Chowdhury, senior, said. The girls are happy to be in America and are thrilled to be spending the next couple of months as Wisconsinites.
