On Saturday, April 16, eight Administrators from the Wayland Public Schools came to visit China for the week. There was Mr. Crozier, Mr. Longnecker, Ms. Mills, Ms. Gavron, Mr. Jones, Ms. Harvey, Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Coughlin. They spent a fun filled weekend with their host families and arrived at JSYY bright and early on Monday morning. After meeting with the JSYY Administrators and being introduced to the school before morning exercises, they took a tour of the beautiful school. The school has five floors and is a sprawling building. It is well taken care of with beautiful shiny floors and spacious hallways to accomodate the 2200 students. The group met up with the Wayland students and observed them in their Mandarin and Independent Research Study class.
