IT’S OFFICIAL! I have scheduled the tour through Europe for the Summer of 2014. This trip will be for students from both the 2014 & 2015 graduating classes. Based on the feedback that I received form parents in response to the two-page proposal that I sent out, I have opted for the longer trip. Here is all the information you need to get a good idea about this trip. I am truly thrilled, as I headed up this exact trip in the summer of 2010.
