Members of Luxemburg-Casco High School’s travel program, LC Abroad, are keeping a close watch on the news lately as headlines about the coronavirus dominate the coverage. Social studies teacher Lauren Shumacher started the group in May 2018. After a successful voyage to Germany to tour World War II sites, among other landmarks, the group is planning to return to Europe next year, to Paris and Barcelona. Nearby Italy has been one of the first countries outside of China to have an outbreak, but Schumacher says that is not causing changes to the itinerary yet.

LC Abroad hopes to touch down across the pond in February 2021.
