Dear Families,
As a quick reminder, I am leading a group of students on a once‐in‐a‐lifetime educational adventure to GREECE over summer break in 2024. This trip will be an unforgettable educational experience!
I’ve chosen to travel with WorldStrides because of their exceptional service and their strong safety record. Their programs offer the perfect mixture of fun and learning, and provide everything we need for the trip of a lifetime! Watch this WorldStrides Presentation to learn more about the tremendous value of educational travel and all that the program includes.
We will explore important historic sites, discover the diversity and heritage of different cultures, and return home with a new-found global perspective.
Visit this trip link to learn more and to sign up: www.educationaltravel.com/davis-9788
You can join with just a $99 deposit online! There are wonderful resources to help fund the trip:
Easy monthly payment plans to help budget for your investment and keep monthly payments low (under $500 a month, currently) Over $2 million each hear is given to qualifying families through WorldStrides’ FLAG financial assistance. Call 800-771-5353 to apply.
The Gift of Education gives travelers a personal fundraising page to share with family, friends, and local businesses.
I want to encourage you to sign up your student for our trip by our spring enrollment deadline May 25 and secure your child’s spot on the trip as well as the $100 savings (last chance to lock in discounted pricing). Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Davis

Students in Braswell's AO class were given 25 straws and a roll of masking tape. They were told to try to build the biggest house they could. This group created the only completed house that Braswell had all week, and they included the door in their project. They even used their extra pieces to make a bed and a couch to go inside of the house. #creativeminds
