A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO EXTEND A WARM WELCOME AND OUR BEST WISHES
FOR A SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO OUR FRIENDS FROM FRANCE
PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM
WITH J. L. MANN HIGH SCHOOL.
Whereas, from March 27, 1998, to April 9, 1998, the students,
teachers, and school administrators from J. L. Mann High School will
be hosting an exchange of twenty-two students and two faculty
members from J. L. Mann High School's sister school, The Lycee
Godefroy de Bouillon of Clermont-Ferrand, France; and
Whereas, during this period of time these French exchange students
and their accompanying faculty will be traveling all over South
Carolina and visiting many of its historic sites and attractions; and
Whereas, this program provides many positive learning experiences
and presents opportunities for the participants from both countries to
enjoy cultural exchanges which otherwise might not be available to
them; and
Whereas, this program is a valued resource in teaching respect and
tolerance for cultures which differ from ours and helps bond
friendships which could not happen without this exchange; and
Whereas, this program will allow our neighbors from France to enjoy
the many fine attractions our State has to offer, and allow them to
experience the kindness and hospitality for which the citizens of
South Carolina are known worldwide; and
Whereas, the J. L. Mann High School Foreign Student Exchange
Program is an outstanding model for other schools with similar
programs in our State to emulate; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly wish to thank the
participants who make this exchange possible and hope for the
continued success of this program for many years to come. Now,
therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly extend a warm welcome
and our best wishes for a successful visit to our friends from The
Lycee Godefroy de Bouillon School, Clermont-Ferrand, France,

School, the adult leaders, Bernard Corre and Joelle Bertrix, and to
each of the following exchange students: Caroline Fontanes,

and to the J. L. Mann High School, Greenville, South Carolina.
