Every Kid in a Park
The National Park Foundation, an extension of the National Park Service, is sponsoring a year-long initiative to help get 4th graders and their families into our National Parks, Lands and Waters. At the link below is information for 4th grade teachers and parents to get the pass that allows the student and family FREE access to National Parks, Lands and Waters. A great opportunity for students and families to get out and experience our nation’s history and natural areas for an entire year!
