Meet the Travel Class Kids!

Every year at this time, the Travel Class kids meet Bubba's Bike Tour at the library and share lunch and brownies together. Several years ago, Bubba and his bike tour came through Valentine and ever since they have enjoyed meeting the Travel Class kids and hearing about who they are as kids. This year, the kids will all be at UIL Academic contest when Bubba and his 50 riders come through town. I didn't want them to miss out on hearing about the kids this year though, so I made a "highlight" video of what they've done this year. I thought I'd share it with you as well, if you don't know the kids personally, this will give you a chance to get to know them some.


Please enjoy getting to know the kids!

So close we can taste it!

Since the articles in the Cenizo Journal and the El Paso Daily times came out in January, we have received so many good wishes and donations from people, we have hardly been able to keep up with the "thank you" notes! It is humbling to us that so many people are willing to help us achieve our goal and visit Italy...in less than 80 days! We wanted to take a moment, amidst the hustle and bustle that is Spring Semester in a small school (the boys are at a golf tournament today, Friday they have track and next week we will all be gone at One Act Play competition, golf tournaments, UIL District Academic contest, and track!) to add to our previous list of donations we have received.

Thank you so much for your support!
