Transylvania, Romania - 2019 EDS Family
SUMMER
International Trip
Our next EDS family summer international trip will be to Transylvania, Romania. Located in the heart of Eastern Europe, Transylvania is bound by the Carpathian mountain range and is known for its scenic beauty, landscape, and rich cultural history. Covered by forests, castles, thermal springs, salt lakes, and monasteries, this region is mostly untouched by tourists. We are looking forward to this once-in-a-lifetime fantastic adventure, which will include day trips to Count Dracula's castles, the royal family palace, salt mines/lakes, pottery villages as well as other historic and cultural sites. The trip is perfect for history lovers and outdoor fanatics alike. From hiking and exploring cultural/historic sites to swimming in salt lakes and learning the art of pottery/wood crafting to discovering the famous Hungarian culinary traditions of this region, this is the most perfect trip for families. There will be plenty of opportunities for learning and exploring, for young children to teenagers, and adults alike. The trip will be led by our global languages department chair, Anna Newton, who is a native of Transylvania. Interested families should attend our Info Meeting on Monday, May 14th at 4:30 pm in the ILab.

Middle & Upper School Announcements
TAG Finishes Up Season
TAG (Theatre Appreciation Group) finished the season at UE by attending "Grapes of Wrath" on April 20. TAG is open to all upper school students interested in seeing the plays at UE's Shanklin Theatre, followed by discussion and dessert at IHOP! If you didn't get in on the fun this season, be sure to watch for our invitation in the fall or talk to Mrs. Ferguson about joining. The more the merrier!
On
Monday, April 30 members of the Middle School and Upper School choirs and band will be at UE over lunch rehearsing for Performing Arts Night. Due to a low volume of students that will be in the school for lunch, there will be no food vendor for the day. Students need to bring their own lunch.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and in honor of this, Holly's House partners with schools to allow their students to wear blue jeans in support. Holly's House is a child and adult victim advocacy center, so our National Honor Society chapter wanted to allow high school and middle school students to wear jeans on
Tuesday, May 1. Turn in a dollar for your pass to your first period teacher and all the proceeds will go to Holly's House.
