Dear Students,
Congratulations! You have been chosen to be a participant in the Jamaica Library Project Service trip this summer! The trip will take place from Tuesday, June 9- Friday, June 19th. Please note that these dates are tentative, based on airline availability. With that in mind, please allow a three day window before and after these dates in case there is a shift in dates.

As a chaperone team we look forward to sharing details of the trip with you as elements emerge.
