Intel Trains Staff in Beaverton

Over the past 3 weeks some 300 Israeli families have moved into the Beaverton area near Intel to be trained for 5 months.  They brought about 400 children with them.  This means that the school districts have to make extra provisions for these non-English speaking children.

As I remember, English is introduced in many Israeli schools in the 4th grade.  Older children arriving will pick English up quickly.  It will be a great experience for them.
