On September 20 & 21, 4th grade students in Meramec Valley participated in the "Paddle Your Parks" program sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Urban Waters Federal Partnership.  Students traveled to George Winter Park in Fenton to participate in hand-on labs that included Water Safety Briefing, Canoe & On-the-Water Learning, and on-land Wetland Labs. 

This program is made available to 4th grade students in St. Louis County, Jefferson County and Franklin County.  Students also received EKiP Passes (Every Kid in a Park), which will allow the student and 3 family members free entry to any national parks and recreation area.
