Information for Italy Trip in Summer 2024!

Dear Parkway School District families,


Exciting news! Your student (grades 6-10) is invited to join us on a once-in-a-lifetime educational travel experience to Italy in Summer 2024!


Educational travel exposes students to new people, places, and cultures, which in turn expands their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of themselves. That’s why I’m thrilled to bring this opportunity to your student and our community.


While we had our initial meeting last week, there will be more meetings in the future, so be on the lookout for information. At the meetings, we will discuss:


  • How this opportunity will benefit your child

  • What we’ll see and do on our trip

  • Everything that’s included in this experience

  • How your child can earn academic credit

  • How we’re keeping this safe and affordable

  • How to enroll with confidence during EF’s risk-free enrollment period (where you can receive a FULL refund!)


There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend our next meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!


Thank you,

Amanda Megl
