MRSPA Travel Evaluation
MRSPA requests that those who take advantage of our travel opportunities take the time to fill out a brief evaluation. All information provided is strictly confidential and encrypted.
I recently heard this time of year, September through December, referred to as Hallothanksmas. This portmanteau word conjures up memories of my childhood tri-holiday expectations of a bulging bag of Halloween candy, followed by the gastronomical delight of Thanksgiving dinner enjoyed with cousins at the children’s table, and culminating with waking up on Christmas Day to find that Santa had indeed read my letter. Years later, my 9th grade English students and I traveled through time with Philip Pirrip, a.k.a. Pip, as he sought his Great Expectations. Today, I have great expectations for MRSPA, the locals, and members as we continue to travel through 2023-2024 together.(continued on Presidents' Message Page)
