Meet Your ChaperonesYou may be selected to participate in a life-changing

experience. Ms. Bol & Mr. Currier are going to carefully hand pick students that we know and trust (along with some that will be very highly recommended).

As world travelers, we want to share our love of travel with our students – and for that reason we have decided to lead this trip.

It is important that you understand that the school system has no part of this (although they have been made aware of this trip). We are two private citizens organizing an amazing adventure to Europe.

We would like to start by introducing ourselves.

Tom CurrierMr. Currier has been teaching in Calvert County for 19 years. He has

taught 8 different computer science courses, photography, various math classes, and world history.

He has traveled to 27 countries, including Central America, the Caribbean and Europe.

He has chaperoned an EF tour in 2004 with students from Calvert High School - two weeks traveling through Italy, France & England. In 2009, another EF tour was to Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria.

Mr. Currier is a planner, thinks a lot about the trip, and researches the trip. Because of that, his travels have been smooth and trouble free for the most part. He also organized a trip to Greece in 2007 for 22 people that lasted two weeks and covered Athens and 4 islands, and a two week tour of Ireland for 6 people that covered the entire island.

Odds & Ends I

Recruitment!

We need to have a minimum of 24 students for the trip to run, so we need to recruit!

Fundraising – we don’t have any ideas at the moment, but if people want help and have a plan, we will be happy to help organize.

Future meetings – we plan on holding several meetings between now and then, and also will have regular updates via email and the blog http://hhseurotrip13.blogspot.com. One of the meetings will be Mr. Currier giving a lesson on how to pack efficiently as you will have to carry whatever you bring quite a distance.

How much spending money should you bring? It depends on your financial situation, but you will be responsible for purchasing your lunches, beverages, and any souvenirs you want. We would set the minimum at about $500.

Contacting us – we want you to bring all of your questions and concerns to our attention. Email contact preferred – CurrierT@Calvertnet.k12.md.us / Phone Ms. Bol @ HHS – 410.414.7039

Odds and Ends II•Drinking – There is a standard waiver for students who are over 18

and therefore legal in many of the European Countries. If the parents sign the waiver it does not mean the students have a free pass to go crazy – and we would hate to think that drinking would become the focus of the trip.

•Other Rules – As the chaperones on the trip, we promise to do everything we can to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. There will be rules that will need to be adhered to; we really don’t want to have to send you home. We truly want to enjoy ourselves on this trip too!

•Because this is not a school sponsored event, your acceptance is at the discretion of Mr. Currier and Ms. Bol. If you have someone in mind that would be a good addition, please talk to us – we will listen

•Last Note – One of the nice things about EF tours is the “shotgun” approach to travel. When we spend a day in a city, we will see just about everything there is to see – it is a sometimes grueling pace, but the experiences that you acquire are well worth it!
