So much goes into preparing for a trip of this nature and many people are
involved. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered through a great deal
of prayer and planning. Coordination between transportation, lodging, meals and
itineraries take a huge amount of time and patience. Ongoing communication is a
critical component between administration, teachers, parents and students.
Preparing materials, acquiring supplies, holding meetings, choosing chaperons,
conducting training, and providing team building opportunities, the list of
to do's could go on and on,.... And just in case you may be asking, YES! it is
worth every minute and ounce of extra effort!
Our week in Williamsburg
will provide a lifetime of memories for everyone involved. While the focus of
our trip is history and experiencing the sights and sounds of the exploration,
colonization, revolution and founding of our nation, it is also about growing
up, learning responsibility, experiencing independence, figuring out how to get
along and working as a team. Many lessons will be learned, relationships will
be deepened, accomplishments will be celebrated and a milestone for many will be
achieved.
The count down is winding down and the excitement is building.
Thank you for supporting us, encouraging us and making the sacrifices that
are giving us the opportunity to embark on this adventure in learning with your
students. We hope you will enjoy traveling with us through our blog.
