STCS Travel Program Info Night
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
We are hosting two info sessions to talk about our upcoming trips!
Tuesday August 15th
Power Campus Room 513
Eastern Seaboard Trip Meeting at 5 pm
Greece Trip Meeting at 6 pm
In this info session, we’ll talk about:
● How this opportunity will benefit your child
● What we’ll see and do on our trip
● Everything that’s included in this experience
● How your child can earn academic credit
● How we’ll be keeping the trip safe and affordable
● How to enroll on the trip (before it fills up!)

Lost and Found
Please label your children’s water bottles, lunch boxes, and other items with their names in a clear spot. Every Wednesday, we go through the lost and found and if the items are labeled, we return it to the student. If the items do not have names on them, we donate them to a shelter.
