Three Bremerton students will say “sayonara” to Kitsap County as they travel to Bremerton’s sister city, Kure, Japan, this summer as exchange students.

The three students are Karmyn Roethle, a sophomore at Olympic High School, Hope Manning, a home-schooled sophomore, and Bryan Freeman, a junior at Bremerton High School.

The students will be in Kure for one month.

This is the 46th year for the program, which is sponsored by the Bremerton Central Lions Club.

Three students from Kure will be in Bremerton for one month this summer. They will arrive July 25. Anyone interested in being a host to a Japanese exchange student may call Elaine Valencia at 473-5266.
