Traveling both takes moxie and builds moxie. Just ask the Housatonic Valley Regional High School International Travel Club. Reinvigorated by Club faculty advisor Social Studies teacher John Lizzi, the club has taken students, faculty, staff, and parents to destinations such as the Galapagos, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and the Mediterranean coast.
In this Moxie episode, John and students Ellie Wolgemuth and Madison Melino describe their adventures, growth and moxie that have resulted from their journeys. In fact, Madison joined the podcast from the Rekyvik Airport after a glacier flood impacted her travels.
For those in need of financial assistance, the Club’s new model allows families to participate in fundraising to subsidize the cost of the trip, making travel affordable for anyone who wants to go. The club’s fundraising arm, NWC: Students Without Borders, facilitates student fundraising activities and donations.
John, Ellie, and Madison have all seen the impact of these trips crossover into their academic pursuits at HVRHS and in their personal lives. They are more confident, resilient, curious, and open to new experiences–the hallmarks of moxie!
