Posted

LA VISTA, Neb. (KMTV) — A La Vista student is one of 60 eighth-graders who won a week-long river cruise through Triple-A.

After researching how waterways impact communities and learning about different communities, Carter Petrickek wrote an essay.

The eighth-grader then found out that he won the Discovery Crew contest. He says he gets more excited each day.

"I am looking forward to taking my first plane flight and going out of the country, and learning about different cultures,” said Carter.

The educational cruise goes through Europe and starts in Amsterdam. It goes through the Netherlands and then to Belgium.

The winners get to take one adult with them. Carter chose his mother. They will fly to Amsterdam before the cruise sets sail on March 12.
