Houston 2015 on the STV Riverside Show

The 10 pupils who were chosen to go to Houston, Texas in 2015 were joined on their journey by Jennifer Reoch from STV Glasgow’s Riverside Show, who joined the group for part of the week. Jennifer filmed the group whilst in Houston, which resulted in a week-long series of features on the Riverside Show the following week.
