FALCON NOTES I hope that everyone is enjoying their Spring Break and taking the opportunity to relax and spend time with friends and family. We just came back from our successful Spring Trip to San Francisco and Monterey. Overall, we took 180 people (students AND Chaperones) on this year's spring trip and had a wonderful time. From walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in the rain and hiding in the shops on Pier 39 and our impressive performances, to hotel hijinks, a deserted Great America (more rides for us!) and the stunning aquarium in Monterey, we all had a wonderful time. I'd like to thank the chaperones who helped to make this a safe trip as well as our students who were respectful and represented CV in a positive light. Have a great Spring Break! (Mark your calendars for our trip to Florida next year!) |
