Lecrenski has European dreams

April 11, 2014
Bonners Ferry High School junior Kassy Lecrenski, whom you may have seen working the produce aisle at Super 1 Foods, is excited about a once in a lifetime opportunity for travel, and while she's working hard to make her dream come true on her own, her community can help her, and her aspiring classmates, get to where they hope to go.

Kassy has been invited to take part in an Education First educational tour to Europe. Instead of spending spring break her senior year a year from now in Bonners Ferry, she'd rather join those in her Class of 2015 on a European tour led by BFHS Spanish teacher Linda Hall, visiting London, Paris, Florence and Rome, actually seeing, and touching, the places she's studied for so many years.

Instead of words and pictures in a textbook, she'll gain a perspective that can only be appreciated by actually being there, seeing the sights first hand, by walking in the very places she's only pictured in her mind's eye.

To get there, Kassy and each student hoping to take the trip must raise nearly $4,000 before the flights can be booked.

Those who'd like to help Kassy live the dream can contribute by clicking here. Those who'd like to learn more about the program can contact an amazing teacher, Linda Hall, by calling the high school at (208) 267-3149, or by visiting her webpage by clicking here.
