Dear families, Macon County FFA is going to Costa Rica in the Summer of 2025, and you’re invited! This trip is open to current 8th-grade students through seniors at RBS and MCHS. Students do not have to be a member of FFA or enrolled in an agriculture course to attend! We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for the informational session to be considered for this opportunity: https://bit.ly/4b3h9l9 When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure. In this info session, we’ll talk about: - How this opportunity will benefit your student - What we’ll see and do on our trip - Everything that’s included in this experience - How your child can earn academic credit - How we’re keeping this safe and affordable - How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity! Thanks, Ms. Abby Brown browna@maconcountyschools.org Agriculture Educator & FFA Advisor Macon County High School
