History teacher, Betty Roberts, hosted a trip to Europe over spring break that entailed visiting numerous regions and townships in Europe.
Roberts has been planning the spring break trip since 2021. All grade levels were allowed to participate in the trip, as long as they could make the payment of $4,000 per person.
Roberts went to a travel company and hand-picking a travel itinerary that included key components of the schools curriculum. In addition, preparation included curriculum from other departments, a parent/student meeting, and work with the Chelsea Center to allow students engaged in the trip to earn experiential learning credit.
The trip consisted of two days in England, six days in France, and one day in-between England and France.
Students went to places such as London, Paris, Boise, Caen, and Normandy, and got to see historic landmarks such as the Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower.
Junior Lizzy Hancock, a participant on the trip, said, “Yeah, I thought it was super fun. It was really exciting to see new things and get to experience stuff I never really thought I would before.”
Junior Audrey Casey said, “I thought it was like, so cool seeing and like experiencing different cultures, and like, going to all of the historical sites in France and London. And I’ve just learned so much about the history, and everything was so beautiful and cool.”
Roberts said there are plans to do this again in the future. “I always wanted to rotate every two years between Europe and Asia.”
Roberts added she plans to offer the Japanese trip in the summer of 2025 and an Italy and Greece trip in 2026.
