Letter To The Editor: Amazing Trip to Costa Rica

On Feb.16, 2011, fifteen Tolland High School students departed from Bradley International Airport for San Jose, Costa Rica.

The twelve-day trip was organized and chaperoned by John Powell and Nancy McGrath, two Tolland High School teachers.

The group traveled all around Costa Rica, seeing the sights and learning about Costa Rican culture and the Spanish language.

Highlights of the trip included encountering baby sea turtles, soaking in volcanic hot springs, zip-lining through the rainforest, staying with Costa Rican families for four days, and learning to surf.

 The students would like to give a big thank you to Mr. Powell and Mrs. McGrath for arranging and supervising this trip. The group is forever grateful for getting the opportunity to go on such a truly amazing trip.
