Dear 7th grade Families,

We will have our first trip meeting on Sept. 28 at 6:00 in the Oak auditorium for the May 15-29, 2023 France trip. There will be a slideshow informational presentation with time for questions at the end. It has never gone over an hour so don't worry that it will drag on. We will cover the sign-up, what the trip entails, activities the students might participate in, and any concerns you might have. It will be the only in-person meeting we will have before the November 1st cutoff date.

Leslie Houfaidi, France trip coordinator
