Abilene High School German Trip 2005

Kevelaer-Abilene Austausch

Exchange Program

The exchange program was started over 20 years ago when Mrs. Teasely was teaching German at Abilene High School. She was asked by her family who lives in a small town that is now a part of Kevelaer. Her family wanted to start an exchange between the two schools and that is when the first exchange happened.
