What Parents are Saying About the Florida Trip

I just wanted to send a quick note to say "thank you" for everything you did to make the Costa Rica trip such a huge success!! A. and T. had a fantastic time and our whole family has enjoyed looking at the pictures you posted. We really loved having photos on Facebook while you were traveling -- it made me feel better to see everyone having so much fun and it was great to share some of them with our family and close friends.

I really can't express how much these trips have helped A. to grow and appreciate the world around her. Thanks for your time, talent and enthusiasm -- thanks to your family too for supporting your time away from them.

T. and I are already talking about who gets to go with our (now 4th grade) younger daughter when she is in 7th grade!

I just wanted to say thank you and what an asset you are to Mackenzie’s life to allow her to have this wonderful experience. You truly are instilling a since of independence and self confidence in these kids allowing them to see the various opportunities and adventures they can encounter in life.

Mackenzie will be talking about this trip for the rest of her life – Riley will be joining you next year in Florida and then Costa Rica.

Sorry I haven’t e-mailed until now to say thank you so much for organizing the trip. Both H. and K. had the time of their lives and I’m still hearing stories!! We loved seeing the pictures on Facebook and my younger daughter and I were at my parents in Florida so we could all follow your adventures by the day. It made us feel a part of it all. We are looking forward to seeing all the photos and look forward to meeting everyone who went.

Again, thank you for making this trip so special – H. has such great memories of your science class last year which made the trip even that more special (and I think she wants to do your chem lab this summer!!) To quote her – you’re the best!

Dear Scot and Costa Rica family,

Thank you from all of us, we truly enjoyed the fun-tastic trip. What was a bonus for parents was the bonding we had with new friends.
We truly admire your sincere and utmost priority to all the kids esp. who came alone, truly they were always with you, and like your own you took all responsibility even if with other parents.
For all those parents who couldnt go, you must know this teacher is amazing, did I forget cool!

Thank you everyone for being part of such a wonderful memory. We look forward to meeting the rest of family that couldn't make it.
Pura vida.

Juma,Sunitha,Aminah,Tara.

Thank you Scot - the trip was amazing!

This was my fourth trip with you, but first with families and I wholeheartedly concur with you regarding the quality friendships that were catalyzed through what was one of the most memorable trips of my life. With teachers like you, and parents like all of you, it's no wonder the PV schools produce such amazing kids!

Thank you and Ms. Seymour so much for organizing the Costa Rica tour! A. had a great trip and many stories to share. Thanks also for taking such terrific photos and keeping us in the loop via facebook. We appreciate your taking the time for to do the Florida and Costa Rica trips as they have provided lifetime memories for the students! Hope you are able to get some rest~
