Today, monday december 15th 2008, students from WELLSPRING Learning Community came over to Audi Plaza where they were offered a tour of the Bank, as well as a viewing of Maxime’s Everest documentary.
This was followed by a 45 minute Q & A session with Maxime where students and teachers alike asked Maxime about a wide range of subjects.
