NEW MEETIN G DATE! Dear Parents, I am currently planning an educational class trip to Washington D.C. in 2013.

This trip will be an excellent chance for your child to experience our nations history in person as well as yourself if you would like to go! I am working with Smithsonian Student Travel to plan our trip, which will be 4 days. It is allinclusive and the package includes: round-trip transportation, 3 nights hotel accommodation, breakfast and dinner daily, a full-time Smithsonian Student Travel tour director, air-conditioned motorcoach, sightseeing tours led by a licensed guide, visits to special attractions, overnight security, educational materials developed by the Smithsonian and a Smithsonian membership. Smithsonian Student Travel is the domestic travel division of EF Education First, a company with 45 years of experience in educational travel and the worlds largest private educational organization. They combine the educational resources of the Smithsonian with the travel expertise of EF. Smithsonian Student Travel is the first and only tour operator accredited by CITA, plus six more regional accreditation organizations. This means your child can earn 1 high school elective credit just by traveling on this tour and completing associated coursework!! To learn more about Smithsonian Student Travel, please visit them online at: www.SmithsonianStudentTravel.com. I will be holding a parent and enrollment meeting to discuss the trip in detail on

Thursday, November 29 at 6pm at AMS (room 2215).

I am excited about providing this educational opportunity to your child, and I look forward to leading this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Sincerely, Jamie Luna Jamie.luna@aliefisd.net
