People to People Fundraiser

My 13 year old daughter Kiera is an 8th grader at T. Benton Gayle Middle School.  She is raising money to help pay the tuition for the People to People Student Ambassador Program.  She has been selected to participate in their European Heritage program this summer where she’ll be traveling to England, Switzerland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium.  During these travels she will:

o       Earn academic credit
o       Gain unique access to key people and places
o       Develop leadership skills
o       Gain an edge in the college admissions process
o       Thrive in an increasingly competitive and globalized world
