I’ve enclosed copies of a memo announcing the open house for the Travel Abroad Program. Please
distribute the memo to students in your classes.
Last year we had 25 students participate in the trip to England. If you have had the opportunity to talk
with them about this experience, you know that the trip was very worthwhile and gave them memories
that will last a lifetime. I am confident that the trip to Italy will be just as rewarding to those who
participate. As you know, the experiences students gain from traveling abroad cannot be replicated In
the classroom.
I appreciate your supports of the program and your help in promoting it with your students.

features. The tables in this unit are limited to those with the following parts:

The table to the right is a 3 by 11 table. Meaning there are 3 columns and 11 rows.
