    Everyone knows what it feels like to need a quick pick me up. Instead of reaching for a cup of coffee, pick up the phone and dial the Peptoc Hotline. The students of West Side Elementary School in Healdsburg, California along with their art teachers created a series of pep talks geared towards making callers feel better and ready to face whatever challenges comes their way.

    Becoming a foreign exchange student is an opportunity to learn about a new culture by attending high school or college in a foreign country. Becoming a student host is an opportunity for parents to welcome those students into their own home and provide a family experience for those students. The experience enriches the students and families.
