Fourth Grade is a wonderful year! Every Kid in a Park is a great program that encourages students to visit National Parks. Through this program students in fourth grade will receive a pass that will get them into National Parks for free! The following link provides all of the information about this amazing opportunity.
Students can be registered for their fourth grade pass on September 1, 2016. I have registered my fourth grade students this year. I will have a pass for each student to take home on Friday.
The State of Missouri is also joining in the effort to get students to State Parks as well. They currently have a passport program that is free for fourth graders. If the students bring their pass for Every Kid in a Park, they can have a $5 passport book for free. We will be visiting State Parks all year long. If the students bring their passport with them, they can begin collecting the stamps for the Missouri State Parks.
