An Eagle River High School arts and media group took a four‑day trip to Seattle to visit colleges, museums and cultural sites, student reporters said.
"In January, our arts and media group took a 4 day trip to Seattle. The purpose of this trip was to tour colleges, art institutes, museums, and see the sights of Seattle. This trip was sponsored by the gear up program," the student host said.
Student participants listed stops that included the Space Needle, the monorail, Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium and local art institutes. A student reporter described visiting an "Indian school," the aquarium's jellyfish displays, an underground tank exhibit and an aquarium commercial shoot; reporters also described holding starfish at a touch tank and seeing baby sharks.
Participants named other students on the trip and described moments of shyness on camera and getting briefly lost while touring. The recording did not include school administrative commentary about funding or selection criteria for participants; the segment framed the trip as college preparation and cultural exposure.
The GEAR UP program was identified on air as the sponsor and described as helping students prepare for college. No administrative actions or further funding details were provided in the segment.
