It’s spring break, we’re all tired. Some of us will be at home, and others will be in Europe!

Ms. Patricia Jordan, a math teacher here at Redwood, is the chaperone for this trip and says that the group of students will be going to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam over the week of their stay.

With a trip like this, people are bound to look forward to specific moments that will occur.

Jordan says, “I’m looking forward to experiencing other cultures with students and helping them to learn about other places and explore the world, also all the delicious foods and seeing the tulip fields, going on a boat ride on the Seine River and seeing the amazing Eiffel Tower.”

Alaynna Alvarez, ’25, says, “I am mostly excited for the tulip fields. Like I could care less about the Eiffel Tower. I just really wanna see flowers.”

Beatrice Du Toit, ’26, says, “I’m looking most forward to seeing the opera house and the Eiffel Tower.”

With a trip this far from home, there may be some uncertain feelings about the process of traveling.

Alvarez expresses her nervousness, saying, “This is my first time ever being on a plane and, it’s for 14 hours. I don’t think I’m gonna be too homesick. I’m just scared about the plane crashing.”

While others aren’t that nervous about the traveling.

Du Toit says, “It’s not my first time traveling for like a long amount of time on a plane, so I’m not too nervous.”

For this trip, all of the students going seem to be in good spirits about it, everyone expresses their excitement for the trip.

Alvarez says, “I feel super excited. I feel like I’m gonna be able to make a lot of friends and create really, really, good memories.”

Jordan says, “I’m just really excited about it. I can’t wait for the trip. We’re going on another trip next year to Ireland if anybody wants to come to that one. And I hope that this program will continue for years to come.”
