Approximately 40 group leaders joined us in Boston in June 2008. Read what some of them had to say about the weekend:
- "My overall opinion and comfort level working with SST has increased 100 times. Having the opportunity to meet the 'voice on the phone' opens up the relationship so much. The enthusiasm of the EF staff is contagious. It is obvious that student travel is important to them."
- David Howard, Capitol Hill Magnet School, St. Paul, MN - "I truly appreciated the opportunity to experience Boston while at the same time, getting prepared to lead my first student trip. What a weekend! Boston is an amazing city and the Smithsonian Student Travel staff is great!"
- Kasia Minnick, Logansport High School, Logansport, IN - "If my trip is even close to my orientation experience - what a more awesome experience I know my students will receive!...I felt that you felt it was important for me to be here this weekend."
- Jeanette Ladd, Prairie Hills Middle School, Hutchinson, KS - "I felt excited about meeting other educators and sharing ideas. We made friends that will go beyond this weekend!"
