An exciting educatonal opportunity


"Sah-wah-dee khrap"
Hello 

This February, I have been given an amazing opportunity to visit the country of Thailand with a group of American educators to view the Educational system and experience the Culture and History of the Thailand people and country.

This opportunity is apart of a "Study Tour" organized through the Hopkinton Public Schools called "Go Global - Teach Global." Headed by the Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Mary Ann DeMello, and organized in part by EF Tours, 22 educators from at the Hopkinton Public Schools and nearby New Hampshire will be departing on an 11 day tour of Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Kanchanaburi, which is home to the "Death Railway, JEATH Museum and the "Bridge Over the River Kwai."

The Vision Statement of the Park West School Division states "We will bring the World to our students to prepare our students for the World."  An opportunity like this can be one way that educators from the PWSD could gain experience to share with their students on places far outside the PWSD.  This is one of my goals to consider during this Study Tour.
