With these funds we will partially fund the trip of 25 low socioeconomic students to travel to Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. 75%+ students are low socioeconomic economic, 50% are ESE, and 90% are minority. The trip is beig led by their English and History teachers, as a way for them to experience the world and the culture while visiting places we learned about in class. When we are in Germany we will visit Dachau concentration camp, Harburg castle, hofbrauhaus tour, Nymphenburg palace and gardens, just to name a few. We will then travel to Venice, Italy where we will learn how to blow glass, visit Doge’s Palace, and St. Mark’s Basilica while experiencing in the culture and people of Italy. Students will then travel to Verona, Italy and visit Juliet’s house and balcony,  and Verona’s Roman Amphitheater. After spending the day soaking in the Italian culture, we will make our way to Lucerne, Switzerland. Where students will travel to the top of the Alps, bask in the serene beauty of the Swiss countryside, while experiencing an authentic Swiss fondue. The cost of the trip is $5,150 per student and that includes all travel, hotel,  entry into all scheduled stops/museums, breakfast and dinner.
