After having spent one month in Spain in June and then hosting their counterparts here for the month of September, Milton exchange students will be bidding farewell to their Spanish guests from Madrid after an unforgettable two months together. Tears were flowing at the Barajas airport in Madrid before the American's return flight in June and there will most likely be no shortage of tears this Friday, as the Milton students' newfound life-long friends make their way back to their home city Madrid, Spain.

En Español:
Milton se prepara para una triste pero memorable despedida.
Después de haber pasado un mes en España en junio y haber recibido a sus correspondientes durante el mes de septiembre, los estudiantes del intercambio de Milton van a despedirse de sus invitados de Madrid después de dos inolvidables meses juntos. Hubo lágrimas en el aeropuerto de Barajas antes del vuelo de regreso de los americanos en junio y se supone que tampoco faltarán lágrimas este viernes cuando vuelvan a casa sus correspondientes y ya amigos para siempre.

One Milton student quotes from his own experience in Madrid this past summer:
Delightfully, every single kid on the exchange got along perfectly with their Spanish brother or sister, and many of us are going to keep in touch and stay friends long after this experience is over.
