History trip to Normandy cancelled

A summer trip to Normandy, France, planned by the history department, has been canceled after too few students signed up. 

“A lot of kids really expressed interest, but once they came by and got all the information, it was just [too expensive],” history teacher Kim Anzalone said.

The total cost of for the trip, which included airfare, hotels and 90 percent of the meals came to about $3,500.

“I’m pretty disappointed it was cancelled, because I really love military history and was really looking forward to the D-Day beaches,” senior Sarah Frankola said.

Anzalone also suspects that some students and parents were also daunted by the distance students would be from home.

“Not many parents want their kids to go to [Europe] without them, and I get that,” Anzalone said. “We’ll probably offer the trip again next year, and see if we can get even more sign-ups.”
