Adventures of Alice
Our exchange student Alice was on the move in December. She said farewell to the Schwahn family and moved in with Lisa, Al, and Allie Scroggins.
As you know, part of the benefit of being an exchange student is getting to try new things and experience a different way of life. If you have a hobby or experience that you'd like to share with Alice, please let us know! We want Alice to have the best experience in Casper.
