People To People: Jay Teen Headed To China
December 13, 2010
Jay High School freshman Jeremy Gibbs has been selected to participate as a student ambassador with the People to People International Student Ambassador Program in a 17 day trip to China next summer. He is the only student from the north end of Santa Rosa county to take part in the program this year.
Students are selected for the People to People ambassador program based upon outstanding scholastic merit, civic involvement and leadership potential.
The People to People program provides international travel opportunities to students in a State Department program that was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. Student Ambassadors experience hands-on learning opportunities and immerse themselves in the arts, sports and family life of cultures around the world.
Jeremy is the son of John and Michele Gibbs. The family has offered their thanks to the two Jay businesses and 13 Pensacola area businesses that that have made Jeremy’s trip to China possible. Further financial help is needed, email mgibbs8192@yahoo.com for more information.
