A Trip to New York City This March
We are excited to announce we are leading St. Francis DeSales and Bishop Watterson High School students on a Brightspark by WorldStrides program to New York City, from March 12-15, 2022. On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, students will experience incomparable learning moments. This is a trip that your student will be talking about for years to come!
Our travel partner will be Brightspark by WorldStrides because of their exceptional service, unmatched safety record, and 50 years of experience delivering top-quality educational travel programs. We will chaperone the program with other teachers as needed, and throughout the program our group will be guided by a Brightspark Tour Director.
There will be a trip information meeting to discuss this wonderful opportunity on Wednesday, September 29th at 7:30 pm. All parents and students are invited to attend this brief, 30-minute meeting where more information about Brightspark will be shared, as well as a review of the trip highlights and explaination of the tools available to help pay for the trip. We strongly encourage you to attend this meeting.
We look forward to seeing you at the trip information meeting and having your child join us on this unforgettable trip!

Dear Lord, how will you call us this day to follow you? How will we hear your voice? Will it be through a heart of gratitude? Will it be in the ordinary moments that hold a spark of your love? Will it be through listening from a place of care and not ego? Maybe it will be when we choose to do nothing and simply pause to breathe in your Spirit. You will call us this day. Help us respond as readily as Matthew. Amen. |
