 GEAR UP students from Warden HS, Moses Lake HS, and Soap Lake HS, had the opportunity to spend five days in our nation's capital - Washington, DC. GEAR UP students that met requirements set by their local GEAR UP program and Close Up received a Scholarship that covered transportation, airfare, hotel, meals, and registration fees for Close Up's Intensive Washington D.C. five-day program.
 Close Up is a hands on program that educates and inspires students to become civically engaged in their community and country. During the program, the students were able to meet other students from around the country and discuss hot topics being decided upon by our nation's leaders. Workshops were held at many of the capital's great monuments and buildings. Students also had the opportunity to meet with Washington State Senator Patty Murray to address any questions. Students felt that the trip was very rewarding and opened thier eyes to the actual power of the people.
