European Travel during summer of 2013!

Ok, ok ... I know I have spoke with you before about travelling to Europe and I know many of you have already had the opportunity to do but ... I wanted to let everyone know teachers here at WP are doing something different for 2013. We are putting together a customized trip to London, Paris, Normady and Madrid that includes a service project. At the end of those amazing ten days you may decide to continue the trip on one of our excursions ... 1 to Balboa or 1 to Costa del Sol. All of which will be amazing!
We are having a Kickoff for Recruitment information meeting in my room on Thursday March 22nd at 6:30pm. If you think you, a friend or anyone in your family may wish to find out more about this trip please plan on swinging by. We should be done fairly quickly! And ... FYI, it';s ok if you already graduated!
