North Atlanta High School invites students and parents from the metro Atlanta community to join in a trip to Europe in June 2019 to visit historic sites and participate in celebrations honoring the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

The two-week trip will be coordinated through EF Tours. The itinerary includes visits to England, France, Belgium, and Germany.

Participating students may be able to earn high-school credit for completing the tour. The trip is open to students ages 13 and up.

Cost is $4,360 for students and $5,010 for adults. These prices include round-trip airfare, transportation while abroad, all hotels, most meals, admission to attractions and events, and travel insurance. Prices may go up as the trip date approaches. EF Tours is offering a $200 discount if you register and make a non-refundable deposit of $95 before Dec. 31, 2017. EF Tours can provide students with an online fundraising page for the trip.

The gifted coordinator at North Atlanta High School, Dr. Deanna Hasty, has provided a flier with more information. If you have additional questions, you can contact her using the e-mail address found in the flier.

Georgia Tech’s K.I.D.S. Club is offering a new, one-day class for high school students to explore meteorology.

This three-hour Saturday session teaches students the basics of observing and analyzing weather patterns. The class will be offered on Jan. 20, Feb. 17 and March 17, 2018. Each of these sessions is identical; students should sign up for only one of the three dates.

K.I.D.S. Club also continues its classes for middle and high-school students, including LEGO Robotics and mobile app development, as well as its elementary school program featuring interactive science activities for students in grades 2 through 5.
