Dear families, We’re going to London and Paris in Spring 2025, and you’re invited! We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://bit.ly/3QHP7mX 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 we would love to have your student join us on this adventure. In this info session, we’ll talk about: • How this opportunity will benefit your student • What we’ll see and do on our trip • Everything that’s included in this experience • How we’re keeping this safe and affordable • How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period 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, Emily Vaughn Please note this is a non-school sponsored trip.
