Since September students have been pitching in to help raise money to offset the cost of their trip by working at monthly pizza nights. A big thank you goes out to the many people who supported this effort by purchasing pizzas.
While in Puerto Rico students will visit many historical locations on the island such as El Morro, explore reefs and the Bioluminescent Bay and hike through El Yunque, the only rainforest in the northern hemisphere.
