Travel Opportunity
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Two summers ago (2015) Mr. Visco and some other English teachers took a group of 24 students and parents on an educational tour of Ireland, Wales, and England. As you can see in the pictures above it made quite an impression. Global awareness is more essential than ever, and the best way to gain such awareness is by traveling abroad. Experiencing new cultures not only opens students’ eyes to the world, it also prepares them for the future. More and more colleges and universities are looking for international experience on students’ applications to set them apart. Travel isn’t just educational, it’s an investment that gives your child an advantage in a competitive world.
With that in mind, Mr. Visco is pleased to announce that he is planning to take students and parents on an educational tour to Italy and Greece in July 2017! Get your cameras ready for this amazing experience!!! When you walk through the Roman Forum, climb the Acropolis in Athens, and visit the site of the Oracle at Delphi, you’re among some of the world’s most historically significant ancient sites. But these countries offer more than just a trip to the deep past—witness more recent history at the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel in Rome, as well as the Duomo in Florence.
Your son or daughter is invited to take part in this amazing opportunity. That being said, the invitation to travel with him is also extended to you as parents. There is limited space on the trip, and Mr. Visco is hoping you and your child will be able to join him.
If you and your child have any questions, email Mr. Visco at bvisco@g.coppellisd.com.The tour is operated by EF Educational Tours. You can learn more online at http://www.eftours.com/1777421VF.
There are a limited number of spots available and the tour is sure to fill up quickly, so please attend the meeting if you are interested. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will truly set your child apart!
We’re excited and looking forward to having you on tour!
Sincerely,
William Visco

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
As the rulers of each kingdom grapple for power, the lives of their subjects are brutally transformed... and four key players, royals and rebels alike, find their fates forever intertwined. Cleo, Jonas, Lucia, and Magnus are caught in a dizzying world of treacherous betrayals, shocking murders, secret alliances, and even unforeseen love.
The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
It's the eve of war.... Choose your side.
