Natasha says good bye to club 

The club's Exchange Student Natasha Smirnova told about her year in Sedona and at Red Rock High School. She enjoyed studying art and her activities in Key Club and with RYLA. Through her experiences helping at the Old Town Mission and participating in highway cleanup, she realized the difference volunteering can make. She also enjoyed time with her exchange friends: going to prom and other activities. The highlight of her adventure here was touring the U.S. with 40 other students. One of her favorite places was Chicago. She said the trip changed her perspective. In the photo above Natasha is singing the Russian National Anthem during the club's July 19 meeting. Club members wish Natasha the best in her future and travels home.
