This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places, experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs, and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.
Meeting details:
📅 Date: October 21
🕒 Time: 6:30 PM
📍 Location: Ovid-Elsie Auditorium
👉 RSVP here to join us: https://rsvp.eftours.com/7ym5u7s
We’ll also open enrollment during the meeting—spots are limited, and I would love to help you secure this experience for your child.
In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have 60 years of experience helping students explore the world safely and affordably.

Dylan was nominated by Mrs.Ignash, who praised her positive leadership, dedication, preparation as drum major. She consistently goes above and beyond to keep the band on task and also helps the 6th-grade band students learn and stay encouraged. Dylan is involved in sideline cheer, tennis and band. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family, especially her sisters. As a junior, Dylan earned the opportunity to serve as drum major. After graduation, she plans to participate in the CCRESA 13 Year Early Childhood Education program, and attend Central Michigan University. This recognition is a testament to your Marauder character, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to Be Your Best!
