Today's Announcements        




  •   The deeper you go into Costa Rica's rainforests, the more engaged all your senses become. Arenal Volcano towering over the trees below is a sight you'll never forget, while the unmistakable sound of howler monkeys in Manuel Antonio National Park will echo for years. Feeling the mist in your face as you zip line through the Santa Elena Cloud Forest is as memorable as the ride itself. And the smell of tropical flowers is just as beautiful as the taste of the fruit.
     
    Bring your parents to an informational meeting to be eligible to join us next summer in Costa Rica! The meeting will be held in room 226 at 6pm on April 25th. Please RSVP to Mrs. Tucker by April 23rd to attend!
