The ever-popular Spain and France trip still offering signups and is looking for more students willing to go on the trip. By early June 2016, Señora Johnson will be hosting a fifteen day trip to Spain and France, with highlights including the Eiffel Tower, the Seville Cathedral, Costa del Sol Beach, and many more sightseeing tours. Hotels, breakfast, dinner, and transportation between Spain, France, and the respective sites are all included, along with tour guides provided by Explorica. Those who sign up are also invited to participate in fundraising so the costs can be much more manageable. All grades are invited to join, and further questions should be directed to Señora Johnson in room F-1.
