The MAHS class of 2018 were freshman when I began working at Mount Airy High.This group of students have been simply amazing to work with. Watching some interact today on the Great Wall was so much fun.

On our final full day at BRS, we were able to experience so much. We visited the Great Wall, went sledding down from the Wall, experienced Chinese performances at a tea house, made dumplings, rode the Beijing Subway, and shopping.#bearsinbeijing
