CHS teachers need to assess interest in Summer Europe Trip
Brenda Daniel and Jorita Addington are looking into a 12 day trip to Europe for June 2011. This trip is in the early planning stages and what is needed to know is if there is enough interest. The trip would include London, Paris, Florence, Rome, Sorrento and Capri. Breakfast and lunch are included along with a play in London, the Paris catacombs, a trip up the Eiffel Tower, the Louver, Coliseum, Vatican plus much more. There are a few extra small fees that are not included in the price right now; along with money needed for lunch, souvenirs and any extra events people might want to go to on the days with free time. Right now this trip would cost students around $3,990.00 and adults an additional $400.00. If we can get 10 people to sign up by the end of February and a total in all of 25 to go we can save $120.00 plus if you have already traveled with Explorica, you can save another $95.00 in member’s fees which would lower the price above. If anyone is interested or would like more information, it is important that you email Brenda Daniel brenda.daniel@corbin.kyschools.us as soon as you can as a few people would really like to go but we need more to go ahead and finalize the details.
