In Taiwan, the students enjoyed the view of the capital city at Taipei 101 and visited several markets such as Raohe night market and Ximending shopping street. They also hiked around Shifen waterfall and released lanterns with wishes for good luck at Shifen Old Street. They learned how to make traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes at the Taiwanese Nougat Museum.

On the last day of their trip, they visited the active volcano at Yangmingshan National Park and made ceramic plates at Yingee Old Street.

This trip encouraged students to step out of their comfort zones, opened their eyes to new cultures and experience, and taught them skills in independence, communication, and responsibility. They ended the trip with many valuable memories, experiences, and skills that will hopefully last them a lifetime.

Special appreciation goes out to Mrs. Lee, chairwoman, for organizing the trip and itinerary, and to the chaperones for taking care of the students throughout the trip.

From March 15 to the 26, eighteen of the members of the senior Class of 2019 attended the senior trip, a week long trip and cruise tour from Los Angeles to three cities in Mexico. Their first stop was sightseeing around Los Angeles and a stroll down the famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

The following day, they boarded the Norwegian star, their home for  the next seven days.While on board the ship, they enjoyed various performances, games and activities as a group. The first offshore destination was Puerto Vallarta, where the class took a cultural sightseeing tour around the city, savored some traditional Mexican food, and ziplined through the jungle where the movie ‘Predator’ was filmed.

In Mazatlan, the second stop, the students took a challenging hike with picturesque views of the ocean all the way to the top of a lighthouse. After the hike, they took a boat to Stone Island to appreciate the beach atmosphere and experience life with the locals of Mazatlan.

The third stop was Cabo San Lucas, where the students enjoyed authentic Mexican food and a taxi tour around the city and famous arch of Cabo San Lucas.

After the cruise, the students enjoyed a few days in Los Angeles, where they did some outlet shopping and visited Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park.

Overall, the seniors had many new experiences and quality time spent as a class. They had quite the remarkable adventure to celebrate the end of their high school journey, which ended on a very positive note.

We wish them the best of luck as they embark on their next adventure to university and beyond. Although they will be away from Wells, we hope that Wells will always be a part of them…changing the world, one student at a time!
