2. Spring Break 2024 Europe Trip

Dear Westbury High Scholar, You (and your parents) are invited to join us on an upcoming educational travel experience to Greece and Italy in 2024! 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 you join us on this adventure. Come hear all the details, including the itinerary, activities, and the cost of our trip at our information meeting on Wednesday, February 15th at 7 PM. The meeting will take place online via Zoom.
