✨Sister City Social✨

Community is what it’s all
about! Cultivating & nurturing meaningful relationships with our Sister City in San Giovanni Valdarno has kept this relationship strong since 2001! Last week, we greeted Licei Giovanni da San Giovanni and ISIS Valdarno teachers, Barbara & Altier, who traveled to Corning as part of the fall delegation. We thank them for continuing to foster this relationship with our CPP students, teachers & SGV Committee members!

Day 10- Homeward Bound ✈️

After a week of exploring, learning, laughing and connecting, the Italian students & teachers headed back to San Giovanni Valdarno. The friendships made in Corning will travel with them forever!

So, it’s not goodbye…it’s see you later! The Corning delegation will travel to Italy in February to stay with their host families, and immerse themselves in the Italian culture.

Day 9- Up Close & Unforgettable

Some places are meant to be experienced, not just seen! 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇨🇦
The students from CPP High School, Licei Giovanni da San Giovanni & ISIS Valdarno took in the power and beauty of Niagara Falls from the Maid of the Mist. It’s a quintessential Niagara experience and a memory to carry home!

What a majestic way to end their trip in the United States!

Day 8- A Floating Classroom & Friday Night Football

The students traveled to Seneca Lake to participate in Science on Seneca. This was a great opportunity to participate in a hands-on experiment, testing water & biological matter. They collected and analyzed the data, then toured the Hobart and William Smith campus. 🥼

A trip through wouldn’t be complete without a stop at The Glen Dairy Bar for a sweet treat! 🍦

The kids finished the the night cheering on CPP Corning Hawks Football 🏈
