====** Several teachers have gone on what is called the "Sacred Heart Heritage Tour" in Frace. This is a custome made trip the takes you to the important place in the Sacred Heart history. Everyone was very excited about this trip. Many of the teachers thought it would be a wonderful trip that could be sponsered by the network so all faculty of Sacred Heart Schools could take. **====
 * //One of the major ideas that came out of the session is; we would like to create a site like "craigslist" were schools within the network could connect to set up travel programs. So many of the school do not have large groupd to go on trips. So if we could work together we could make larger groups which in return could bring down the price. We though we could call it "Sofie's List".//**
 * //The major program we would like to start is Culture Emersion Program. We would like to see a place were student could go and live together in a "village experience" they would cook, shop, interact, speak learn and live within a specific culture. Looking to start program in 2013. It was thought we could start in Italy but it was brought up that we could start right here in the United States maybe Sprout Creek.//**
 * //One problem schools do face is the cost of travel for students. One solution is involving alumni as sponsers to help pay for the trips for students who can not afford the trip.//**
 * //Another issue is when to travel. Schools would like to travel during Spring Break but one week is not enough time to travel and not all schools have the same schedule. Maybe a longer break and schools could take that break at the same time.//**
 * //Should we make travel a manitory part of school? Many school outside of the United States require it before graduation.//**
 * //Oak Hill travels with younger students and would like to find ways to expand travel with younger students.﻿//**
