Sr. High Mission Trip

June 22 - 27, 2007


This year our student leadership team has voted to travel back to Proyecto Abrigo in Juarez, Mexico. All students who are planning on attending Must have a passport. The cost of the trip is $300 per person. We are asking that students pay the cost of the trip so that all funds raised can help offset the construction of the homes. This year we are hoping to build 4 houses. The trip is limited to 30 students at this time. To sign up turn in a non-refundable $50 deposit to Grant in the office with your name and Sr. High Mission Trip in the memo.
