ROYAL CITY - Parents who would like their high school-aged students to take advantage of a European educational excursion in less than two years are invited to an enrollment meeting on Nov. 7.

The meeting will be held in Monica Clouse's fifth-grade pod at 6 p.m. She is the principal organizer and chaperone for the trip.

Any student who will be in high school next year is eligible for the trip. So are recent graduates and adults. The cost per individual will be about $3,000.

The requested dates for the trip, which could be altered slightly, are July 22-31, 2013. Travelers will visit Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

"We hold at least three fund-raisers during the year," Clouse said. "We hope to raise all the tip fees required."

This will be the third such educational trip to Europe. The last one, this summer, took the travelers to historical sites in Italy and Greece.

"Culturally it's beyond imagination," Clouse said.

The 2011 tour included 38 people, 12 of whom were adults. The first trip occurred in 2009.

"Our students from small town Royal City experienced things that most people only dream," Clouse said.
