Twenty-four Korean students spent Tuesday at North Idaho College as they wrap up their final week in Idaho.

The students will return home to Geoje, South Korea, on February 8 after a four-week stay here.

While here, they entertained host families and guests with a cultural night; cooked Mexican and American favorites with Project C.D.A. Restaurant Occupations Class; gone on an eagle watching cruise and attended classes at local schools.

This is the fourth year that a group of middle school students from South Korea have spent a month living with American host families, attending classes at Coeur d'Alene School District schools and experiencing the American culture.

Kimber Noble was honored as Classified Employee of the Month for December during a staff meeting Friday at the Hayden Kinder Center. Superintendent Hazel Bauman presented her with a certificate and Principal Sharon Hanson presented her with a bouquet of flowers.

Hanson had nominated Noble who, as the school's office manager serves nearly 300 five-year-olds, their parents and the staff with joy and patience. In addition to office manager, she wears the hats of assistant bookkeeper, inventory person, nurse assistant, receptionist, webmaster, human resource clerk, registrar, records manager, copier repairman, tutor, and more.
