Get those deposits in ASAP! It's NOT too late!
We will have a group meeting on Tuesday 3/4/14 at 7pm at Frontier in my classroom.
This meeting is for students and families who have submitted a deposit. I have collected 12 deposits so far! Please try very hard to attend! Jeff will be there to direct us through it, but you can expect to fill out some paperwork. We need travelers and families to sign waiver forms and provide contact info, etc.
Eventually we will need copies of passports.
We will also try to lock in the dates of the trip so that we can contact our travel agent at Pioneer Valley Travel and start the process of booking a block of flights.
ALSO
There are Globetrotter Grant application forms in the Guidance Office at Frontier for any student who wants to do a little bit of extra writing to receive grant money for this trip.
From the guidance office:
"Frontier has been notified that our students are eligible to apply for the Globetrotter Travel Grant. This grant offers a stipend to be used to defer expenses related to travel for educational purposes. Examples would include studying abroad, student exchange programs, and cultural travel programs. The Globetrotter Grant was established in memory of two local teachers, Irene Lively Michaud and Deborah Hubbard Christensen. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and available in the Guidance Office."
This grant is new and (in my opinion) perfectly suited for this trip. This is an amazing opportunity! Don't hesitate!
