Goodbye Santa Barbara!

After two wonderful weeks, it was time to say congratulations, goodbye, and head down to San Diego for our "Grand Finale". We had a very special going away party with the host families with Completion Certificates, a live performance from our students, and an amazing birthday celebration! A very special night we will all remember.
