Travel Club
My students often tell me that I should write a book about all the things I have done, the places I have been, and the things that I experienced. Then one day they told me they wanted me to take them on one of my travel adventures. So I did. Thus, Travel Club was born. Since it's creation in 2007, over 300 students and their families have traveled all over the world experiencing all types of social studies based adventures.
Travel club is more than just another school club. It is a group of people, young and old, from every walk of life and every color and belief that unite as a family of people who learn about the world and it's cultures, politics, religion, geography, economics, and society. Every year this "family" grows. Those who graduate and move to alumni status often return and work with our current club members in an effort to ensure that this opportunity stays alive for more years to come. The experiences and memories created from the work and learning that takes place as we prepare for our tours as well as the growth and change that students experience while on the tours, have a lasting effect on the students and families that become a part of Travel Club.
