World Challenge Meeting on Monday, 12/16 from 2:30-3:00. Room 125. We will be looking at our options and setting our itinerary (rafting versus volcano trip, downtown capital shopping versus a longer jungle trek, etc.). IF you CANNOT attend, you MUST weigh in your opinion with Mrs. Magrath-Smith BEFORE the meeting. This is an important part of students’ being in charge of the trip. If you don’t have a death in the family or a MAJOR commitment, I expect you to be there.
