7 students from 3 different York County school districts are visiting York’s twin city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany with the York Twinning Association from June 14th through June 27th.  They are Paige Mathias, Ameila Cruys, McKenzie Carr, Sarah Vaclavik, Ethan Martin, Ian Brown, and Zach Gibson.   Everyone is having a wonderful time.  The students are accompanied by chaperones Hannah and Kyle Heintzelman, and Adrianna Clinton.  Photos are of the before trip meeting, waiting to depart at Dulles airport, and in Germany with their hosts.  A fun day taking a ride down the Neckar River in a boat called a ‘Stocherkahn’ that moves through shallow water by being pushed with a pole.  Making yummy chocolate at Ritter Sport in the German town of Waldenbuch.  They are home safe & sound from their German exchange with lots of wonderful memories!
