8th graders set off to Costa Rica for their Capstone Trip

On Friday, we wished safe travels to our 8th graders as they headed off on an adventure to Costa Rica! This Capstone Trip is the culmination of 9 years of language immersion and a long year of hard work fundraising! Follow their journey as they share photos of their activities on their blog. The group is thankful for all of the support from the FLA community!
