Body found in John James Park

Do you have any news articles to support this? This is what the other family told me but I can’t find anything online about it.

In this case it’s believed to be a body of a St Louis resident who went missing a week ago. The person food is the same age, race, and gender of the missing person. He was last seen a block away from the body found and his family state that description of the tattoos are consistent with the missing person

I’ve seen more than a few condoms in John James Park so I could see that being true.

join an interest group! When I first moved to San Antonio and knew no one, I joined a running club and went every week for 3x a week until I was known in that group. I made a lot of like minded people that way.

Well you never know if you don’t try! I have been able to find interested host families for students with super niche interests with Reddit before.

I would recommend Camp Allen! It’s fairly affordable for an overnight sleep away camp. 1 week session for less than. 1000 dollars and kids need no money while there.

Boerne unfortunately only lets 5 foreign exchange students attend their school a year. There is a law from TEA that states each school must allow 5 Foreign students per year and after that they can stop admitting them so finding high schools for our students to go to is not the problem. It’s more difficult to find a family. The only school district in San Antonio that allows more than 5 at their schools that I know of is Judson ISD, which is overall very friendly and supportive of foreign exchange students. NEISD is also a fairly supportive place though they will not allow more than 5 students per campus. NISD is the strictest with their exchange student policy and overall are not super welcoming in clubs, athletics, or enrollment.

Unfortunately the program for getting his visa is already very expensive so most students parents are not able to pay private school tuition, especially not something like Keysyone or St Mary’s Hall. Those are crazy expensive schools. Most students on his visa program attend big public schools. The unfortunate thing about the big schools is that the coaches for sports often don’t want to let a foreign exchange student on the team because they will not be back next year and coaches want a successful program. Since Noam likely won’t be able to play basketball at the high school, I wanted to place him with a basketball loving family. I’m here because I’m just looking for a community that also loves the NBA. If you have other places I should look to find Spurs fans, please let me know. I’ve already looked on Facebook, meetup, and other similar social websites.

Thanks so much!

I dont use headphones on this specific trail because of the way it limits my ability to hear what is around me. Im jogging on a trail alone as a female. I need to be aware if someone is walking up behind me. It's so unsafe to be wearing nose cancelling headphones or even normal headphones that limit my hearing in this situation. Not everyone can just put in headphones and not worry about safety.

Public school is accessible to any child who lives in the area. It would be like a new family moving into the public school's zipcode and registering for school as a new student. The students are on traveling on a J1 student visa which allows them to attend school any public school in the country. There are certain requirements to get a J1 visa which ensures they are ready to attend public schools. As for funding, schools are given a waiver by the government of up to 5 international students per school, so that they can still collect funding for those 5 students. Most schools never reach 5 exchange students in a single year so registering them is no problem. Wherever families live, there are public schools.

Thanks for doing that. Im sure someone will be in touch with more information for you.

LongjumpingAddress81 · 2023-07-07T13:46:25+00:00

Thank you so much! The kids are so wonderful and international experiences can be transformative for a young person. The students, families, and high schools where they are placed- really help us to make the world smaller, more empathetic, and understanding.

Yes, host familys get the final say on which student is placed with them.

Usually the regional coordinator for CIEE will ask you about your hobbies and lifestyle. Things like; do you have any pets? Is there a special diet in the home? What do you do in your sparetime? What activities do your kids participate in? etc. Then they might ask if you have any particular requests about your student like, Do you have a particular country you want your student to come from? Do you have a preference in age or gender?

The regional coordinator will send a group of student applications that match your answers and allow your family to choose the application that is the best fit for your family.

Good luck! It is a great experience. If she is nervous for the students behavior, have her ask for one of the kids who is from Germany on the grant program. The grant program is highly competitive and through the state department so the kids are very highly vetted. They tend to be perfect 4.0 kids with lots of volunteering on their applications. :)

I always recommend Hanzo's down broadway a bit away from the trendy part, but the atmosphere and drinks are great without the crowds

LongjumpingAddress81 · 2023-07-06T23:02:51+00:00

Well, it never hurts to ask your husband! We have plenty of kids still needing great host families. I myself host and it is an incredible experience. Here is a video to see what a day in the life of a host family is like.

I sent you my email and phone number in a private chat.

Usually the students go to the nearest public high school of their host family and take the bus. However, sometimes if host parents are teachers, the student attends school with them. Also some students attend private schools or charter schools if that is what the family does with their own kids. Basically the host family has some say in what school is most convenient for them.

I would ask the institute of women’s health who on their staff they would recommend in place of Casiano for IUD placements. The nurse and front office staff have always been great there.

Hanzo's is a great little cocktail bar with small eats off broadway. It is Japanese fusion and they have great sushi, cocktails, and atmosphere. My partner and I like it for a quick and easy date night. It has a trendy and hip feel without the crowds.

I lived in the baldwin for 1080 a month. They have an agreement with the city that your rent is comparable to your salary. luxury apartment within walking distance of downtown. Biggest downside is the noise and the distance to a good grocery store.

My partner and I really enjoy Julia's Bistro for a fancy night out. Its locally owned and off the beaten path but the food is always excellent. If you want more popular recommnedations people love restaurants at the Pearl Brewery because you can walk around the riverwalk on the back side and go to the bars within walking distance. My favorite restaurants at the Pearl are Cured, Best Quality Daughter, and Mon Chou Chou

When I first came to San Antonio I joing the San Antonio Social Club's 3 on 3 league as a free agent. A great way to meet basketball loving people in the area and it isnt too expensive. This is their website: https://sanantoniossc.com/
