Written by London Project on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 16:11:12 EST:

We are pleased to announce the 2008-2009 London Project.

A few things -


  • It is important for you to check your Beacon e-mail for updates prior to September.
  • It is also vital that you secure a Passport by the start of school. It is your first homework assignment!
  • Alternates will travel in the event that a student offered a seat in class elects to not participate.
  • If for whatever reason youˇ¦ve changed your mind please let us know as soon as possible so that an alternate may have the open seat.
  • Start SAVING UP! Our Tour Group will be expecting full payments by November.
We can't WAIT to travel the world with you.
Sincerely, Cimato, Leon & Fink
