Five From Barnwell Middle School Traveling to Europe with People to People Student Ambassador Program

Congratulations to five outstanding students from Barnwell Middle School, who will be traveling to Europe this summer with the People to People (P2P), Student Ambassador Program. The students, Allison and Lauren Cooke, Andy Lammers, Danny Sherman and Ashley Webb, all eigth graders will be educated on culture differencs while learning leadership abilities this summer. The five will interact with students their age as well as meet with government officials. The many educational elements of this program will allow them to earn college credit. P2P was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. Since its inception P2P has fostered Sister Cities, Project HOPE, and Pen Pals. To learn more about P2P go to their web site www.studentambassadors.com .

The Students are currently accepting donations to help fund their trip. If you would like to help these Ambassadors with their travel stop in and see Craig Daily, Manager, First Bank at the corner of Jefferson and Second Streets in St. Charles (or call 947-1346). The students are also doing a Mobil Car Wash sale. They are selling the Mobil Super Touchless eight dollar car wash for a discounted price of only $5. If you have not tried the newly opened Mobil car wash on 5th street in St. Charles you need to try it. It is fantastic! The students appreciate any support.
