Mrs. Wheeler, Triton German Teacher, has helped provide students with unique travel opportunities. Mrs. Wheeler was the first Triton teacher to take students on an international educational trip, helping establish a tradition that continues today.
During an interview, Mrs. Wheeler shared her thoughts about these travel experiences. When asked what she looks forward to most, she explained that the trips are “an eye-opening and life-changing experience” for her students.

When asked what she hopes students take away from the trip, Mrs. Wheeler said she wants students to understand “how amazing the world is and how important it is to keep it safe.” She also clarified that the upcoming European trip will include multiple countries—Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Austria—offering students exposure to a diverse range of cultures and traditions.
In addition to the educational value, Mrs. Wheeler expressed excitement about experiencing new foods.
