BAYVILLE, NJ - Do you have an spare bed in your home and some extra meals for an exchange student from Spain for a few weeks?

Central Regional school officials are hoping you do. The district is looking for host families for 12 high school students who will be at Central for three weeks in September. And unless they have volunteer families by Thursday, Aug. 16, the program will have to be disbanded for the year.

The students will arrive on Sept. 4 and leave on Sept. 28. They will attend Central Regional classes during that time, take part in school activities and even make presentations to Central's Spanish classes.
