Junior Trip to Chicago
On March 21-23, twenty-two juniors from Cromwell, Denfeld
and Floodwood, traveled by air to visit Chicago, IL. Students had three, exciting, fast paced and busy days touring
this culturally rich city.
We covered many skyscraper filled miles by bus and on
foot, seeing the sights and making new friends along the
way. The students were respectful and kind to everyone
they came in contact with on the trip and even laughed at all
of our tour guide’s jokes. The students were wonderful representatives of their
community, school,
families and Talent
Search. Thank you to
everyone for your help
and support to make
this trip and our program accessible to our
students.

Thank you to all our principals, teachers, school
staff and parents for your continued support this
school year. Your help and cooperation make our
program a success. We look forward to seeing
you in the fall!
