On June 16th, Otselic Valley held a special Italian Flag Dedication Ceremony to honor the departure of our exchange student, Chivorn. The event was led by teacher Joseph Gross, who also had the role of serving as Chivorn’s host during his year with us.
As his exchange experience came to a close, Chivorn took a moment to share words of gratitude with students, staff, and community members who had welcomed him so warmly. A highlight of the ceremony was the chance to hear from his family in Italy, who joined virtually to celebrate this meaningful occasion.
We are grateful to have had Chivorn as part of our school community. His warmth, kindness, and courage to embrace a new culture left a lasting impact. He will always have a home at OV, and we wish him the very best in the journey ahead.
