This spring, we are excited to lead a group of Suffield High School students on an educational adventure of a lifetime. Students in our AP Human Geography and Concert Choir courses will travel to Germany and Austria, where they will further their classroom lessons and broaden their understanding of world history and culture.
During the trip, our students will visit Munich, Vienna and Salzburg, where they’ll explore historic landmarks such as the 1972 Olympic Park, Schonbrunn Palace, and the United Nations complex. They’ll also take a Sound of Music guided tour to see sites featured in the famous movie and will learn about world-famous composers who shaped classical music. The Concert Choir will also have the unforgettable opportunity to perform in several locations.
To help offset the cost of the trip for our students, we are holding several community fundraising events. Please join us!
– Friday, December 19: We are holding a Sound of Music movie night at Suffield High School at 6 p.m. Admission will be free; concessions will be available, including Apfelstrudel and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake!). Holiday raffle items will also be available!
– Saturday, January 24, 2026: We are holding a community pancake breakfast in the Suffield High School Commons from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. We’ll have plenty of characters to interact with kids, including Belle, Elsa, Anna and Olaf! Other activities will also be available such as a craft station, cookie decorating, Disney karaoke and more! Raffle items will be available for all ages. Suggested donation for this event is $10 per person.
In addition, we also have established a community fundraising link through Square. Please feel free to donate directly to this link: https://square.link/u/pR0lkmS1 or click the QR code below.
