At 7:00 a.m. this Sunday, 11 students, 2 staff members and 1 faculty member from Ivy Tech Community College - Bloomington will be getting in a couple of vans and driving 9-10 hours to Radford, Virginia where we will begin our Alternative Spring Break adventure as a team. Let’s hope the daylight saving time doesn’t mess up our departure time!

Snacks are packed (I must admit that I am a bit excited to try the cinnamon roll flavored Pop Tarts), the vans are gassed up, first aid kits are ready to go, journals are empty and anxiously awaiting some fresh ink and everyone’s finished up with their school work - we are ready to go.

I just got a text message from one of the students going on the trip who was confirming our departure time. After I replied with my confirmation I got this:

“Word. See you then. P.S. I’m so super excited! It’s all I can think and talk about!”

Stay tuned and wish us luck.

Be well.
