Morristown Beard School has been partnering with Habitat For Humanity International for over 25 years. Join us as we build houses and spend part of spring break giving back. In recent years we have volunteered with Habitat For Humanity in Alabama, Palm Beach County, and Dade City, Florida.

Students must see the Ms. Deventer in person by Monday, May 23 to have their name placed on the initial list.

Participants will be selected for the trips from that list based on the following criteria: 

• All travelers must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to the trip. This means that on the date of travel, at least 14 days will have passed since your child received the final shot for the vaccine, AND your child is up-to-date with any recommended booster shots.
• Proof of vaccination status must be provided to Bridget Marcato, School Nurse.
• All travelers must follow all health and safety regulations issued by the destination location, as well as any such regulations issued by MBS.
• All students must be in good standing in order to be eligible for any of the trips being offered.
• Juniors and seniors will have top priority.
• Space is limited. No more than 15 students will be on the trip.
• If we reach the maximum number of participants for a given trip, we will need to hold a lottery for juniors and seniors.
• Freshmen and sophomores will be picked by way of a lottery system after the juniors and seniors have been selected.
• The deadline for the sign-ups for interested participants is Monday, May 23.. Sign-ups must be in person. No exceptions.
• The Trip Leader and Director of Global Studies will send an email to those selected with the information on how to sign-up online for the trip, if applicable.
• Selected participants must be signed up and pay a non-refundable deposit of $300 by June 3. 
• Financial aid is available for anyone needing assistance. Please see Ms. Ahern for more information.
