Travel Opportunity!
Dear families,
Your student is invited to join us on an upcoming educational travel experience to England and
Scotland in Spring 2025!
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more
about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global
citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join me on this adventure.
Come hear all the details, including the itinerary, activities, academic opportunities, the cost of
the trip and EF’s risk-free enrollment period at our informational meeting on October 20 at 6:30
P.M.. The meeting will take place at the school library.
Please click here to register for the meeting ASAP to save your seat:

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn
more about this exciting opportunity!
Thanks,
Rachael Couch & Cheryl French
