Some FAQ’s:
- How many days of school do I have to miss?
- For the Civil Rights trip, we will leave Friday night and return Monday nights, so you will only miss one day of school (Monday).
- For the Border Trip, we will leave Wednesday afternoon and return on Sunday night, so you will miss two days of school (Thursday and Friday).
- Will I have time/be able to do my homework?
- Yes! The bus rides are long, so you’ll have plenty of time to complete any homework or make-up work necessary! There will also be some downtime at our hotels.
- How much are the trips?
- The Civil Rights trip is $300, and the Border Trip is $325. Why so much? This covers hotels, bus rides, tickets to any museums/encounters, and food!
