Send a student to Europe!

Rural high schools can only give students certain experiences. They can't teach street smarts or diversity in a vacuum...but you can provide that opportunity!

What can students not learn in a classroom?

What things did your teachers not address in the classroom?  Currency exchange?  How to navigate the subway?  How to avoid pickpockets on public transportation?  We do all of that!

Our rural school can't give students all the diversity and exposure that they can learn from a few days abroad.  Our community is almost completely English speaking, white, lower- or middle-class Americans.  These kids need more exposure!  They need survival skills and street smarts in a city.  Classrooms can't provide it, our community can't provide it...but you can!
 

Help Foster Educational Growth in Rural America--Send a student to Paris and London!

As a husband and wife team of teachers, we take students to Europe on educational trips.  We've traveled with hundreds of students and seen each of them return home with a different perspective on the world.  There are exceptional students we would love to take, but they can't afford the cost.  Paris and London are the perfect destinations because they epicenters of enlightenment!

Change a student's life!

Each student trip costs $4200 from the travel company (Passports).  The trip includes 3 days in London and 3 days in Paris.  Inclusions:

  • Breakfast and dinner each day in Europe
  • Full time multi-lingual tour guide for our group
  • Hotel and Airfare
  • Tickets to the Louvre museum, ascent of the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versaille, entrance to the Tower of London, and more!

Other expenses that the student will incur include a passport, tip money for bus drivers and tour guides, lunches daily, food in airports (think about how expensive that is!) and public transportation on the subway in each city.

 

Details--Our trip departs on June 10, 2014.  We'll take a group of 15-25 students with us, some of whom haven't flown before.  Travel arrangements will be made by Passports, one of the leaders in student travel. The entire trip will last 8 days--2 travel days plus 3 days in each city.

 

All of the money from this campaign goes to a student.  We, the teachers, keep absolutely nothing!
