The Washington Art Club asked permission from the Washington School Board to study abroad in June of 2015. Members of the club presented their proposal to join Cedar Rapids high school students and travel to Spain and France for 10 days with a tour company. The trip will cost nearly $3,500 per students and the group already has fundraising ideas in the works. They hope to have a craft bazaar and host a craft camp for younger students in the spring.

The school board set up a special meeting for next week to approve the further plans of the trip.
