From Friday, May 29th through Sunday, May 31st, we will travel to Chicago, Illinois for a fun-filled and educational experience centered around music, theatre, and cultural exploration. We have partnered with Eric Kauffman of Kauffman Travel Services to put together such an amazing trip.
Students will have the opportunity to:
Participate in a Jazz Dance Masterclass at Giordano Dance School
Take part in an Educational Theatre Workshop at LookingGlass Theatre
Attend two professional productions (Monty Python’s Spamalot and Untitled Vampire Play)
Experience a guided Chicago Crime Tour
Explore Millennium Park, the Chicago Loop, and the Magnificent Mile
Visit the Shedd Aquarium
Enjoy group meals at Andy’s Jazz Club (age appropriate) and Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
The trip destination was chosen intentionally, as the high school theatre department just performed Chicago: Teen Edition this past fall. We would like to take students to the very city that inspired its music, style, and storytelling. Chicago is one of the most historically rich arts destinations in the United States, offering world-class theatre, jazz, dance, and architecture!

FUNDRAISING OPTION – CONTRIBUTION PAGES
Families may also take advantage of a Contribution Page through WeTravel, which allows relatives, friends, or community organizations to contribute directly toward a student’s trip.
How it works:
The student must first register for the trip on WeTravel.
Once registered, they can create a personal Contribution Page.
The Contribution Page link can then be shared with donors, who may contribute via credit card or ACH.
Donors may choose to remain anonymous if they wish.
