During Spring Break, many students at St. Paul Academy and Summit School took advantage of the opportunity their language class offered and set off to France and Germany. While visiting these countries, students not only went sightseeing and enjoyed fabulous new cuisine, but got a chance to stay with a host family. For sophomore Jackson Lea, when he stayed with his host family, he “became part of the family.” For Lea, “it was a bonding experience.” Aside from bonding with new families, students traveled to different towns in France such as Biarritz and Pau. Students enjoyed the trip immensely and highly recommend it to incoming potential participants.

![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)
