The FLOAT School program is funded by the Alaska Education Grant, a three-year grant
aimed at increasing standardized test scores among Alaska Native schoolchildren. This
grant was awarded to the Craig School District. Wrangell Alaska Crossings is responsible
for all wilderness education components do the grant. Although the current source of
funding expires in 2005, the FLOAT School program has been such a success that plans are
already underway for renewing the grant. We look forward to many more years of collaboration
with the six consortium school districts to bring Alaska’s Native students above and beyond
state standards.

"I think I‘ve improved myself in a lot of different ways like my attitude towards things, I try and
look on the bright side of things and not always the bad and before I came I guess you could
say that my glass was always half empty and now that I try and look on the bright side I think
that will help me in a lot of ways when I get home." - 15 year old participant
