- Students at the Hamburg Charter High School in Hamburg, Iowa are raising money for a school trip to Europe. We met up with them at their school in Hamburg to hear about their fundraising efforts.
- The superintendent of schools, Dr. Mike Wells says that, without a big fundraising effort, this trip would be out of reach for most of his students. Fremont County has one of the highest poverty rates in Iowa.
- We spoke with three students who are signed up for the trip and have big goals for their futures.
- “It’s definitely something that I think everyone needs to experience is traveling and – being stuck in one place … and not ever seeing how the rest of the world lives, it just gives you perspective on life,” said senior student Paycee Holmes, 17.
