At APA our mission is to "Cultivate Scholars, empower leaders, and instill core values." Enable your child to do all three of these things with the opportunity of a lifetime, by traveling on a service learning tour to Costa Rica! Students will spend two partial days doing community service in Costa Rica, but will also be going to multiple national parks, going whitewater rafting, kayaking, and ziplining. Time will also be spent exploring and experiencing the culture that Costa Rica has to offer. An informational meeting will be held in October (information will be sent out about that at a later time), but if you are interested in learning more about the trip now, please reach out to Mrs. Renner via the following link: https://forms.gle/yT7QQ6Hz16X817S5A #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
