Warrior families,
Happy Valentine's Day!
EF Tours has extended some additional scholarships for our students, so we have opened up a few more spots on our Summer 2026 trip: Sustainable Farming in Northern Italy trip, and you’re invited! There are only a few spots remaining and it is first come, first serve.
Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this Agriculture, STEM, and College/Career Readiness opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/7728h69
We will meet at 5:45 pm in The Talkington Library.
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this informational session, we’ll talk about itinerary, logistics, what is covered, program fees, academic credit, etc.
Much Love,
Dr. Longoria
