What a fantastic way to support students and teach mathematical concepts at the same time!
~Dr. B. Long (Asst. Principal)
I would like to summarize my trip to England as one that was timely to me. As a citizen of the world, I was very much in need of the stimulation that travels give an individual. The EF Tour daily excursions were well planned and relevant to helping connect my learned knowledge of England particularly the historic cities of London, Stratford, and Oxford to the actual places. For instance, the Tower of London is not just the theme of a childhood song but a place that dates back to the reign of King Henry the Eighth when he ruled the country. We were treated to the theatre in the heart of London featuring a play based on the works of Gregory Maguire as well as other popular sites of this wondrous city. I am please that I took advantage of what the McNair Travel club offered to me and rest of the school’s community. Let’s make the travel club’s goal is to increase the number of participants for the next EF Tour.
