INTRODUCTIONS Paul Yowchuang – Norup International School Principal Well traveled, recently was group leader 43 participants to England via EF Tours Mary Stein – Norup International School Math/Social Studies Teacher Well traveled, was a staff chaperone at the EF England trip and will serve as backup group leader Lauren Dixon – Norup International School Spanish/English Teacher Well traveled, fluent in Spanish For every six enrollees, we may add a staff chaperone. We would add staff members from Anderson and/or BHS once we hit 18 enrollees. We did this for England as well - Noelle Sutherland (AMS) and Randy Gawel (BHS principal) went on our England trip. Paid parents are not considered chaperones. You are there to enjoy the trip with your children. We had paid parents go to England with us as well.
