Learning doesn't stop, even on Spring Break for City Schools students. Groups of students across the district packed their bags and traveled abroad! Forest Park students headed to Greece where they were able to tour several ancient sites. Patterson Park students visited Southeast Asia and learned not only about the culture and history of the places they stayed, but also the food. BIA students stayed with host families and fully immersed themselves in the life, traditions, and culture of China. Students from Design School traveled to Costa Rica and even visited a pineapple plantation. No matter where your Spring Break took you this year, we are so glad to have you back in class
