HISTORIC TRIP TO CHINA

Sponsored by Syngenta, students and staff from four school districts on week-long trip

    REGIONAL – Students and adults representing four school districts in southwest Iowa, including Harlan Community Schools, recently returned from a historic trip to China – a cultural exchange with the emphasis on agriculture and business ideas in education.
    Sponsored and paid for entirely by corporate sponsor Syngenta, the trip included a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad, as well as establishing the first-ever, sister-school relationship between an Iowa school district and Chinese school district.
    Besides Harlan Community, representatives from AHSTW, Riverside and Woodbine School Districts also participated.
