The Northwest Asian Weekly reports that fifth grade students in the Mandarin Immersion Program at Beacon Hill International School are planning a trip to China in 2014 to meet their pen pals from Renmin Rongqiao Primary School in Chongqing. They need to raise money to achieve their dream, which may cost as much as $2,500 per child.
