River Runts
The US Army Corps of Engineers' Rivers Project in partnership with the Meeting of the Rivers Foundation is offering a new preschool program series.

The program, River Runts, is open to children ages 3-5. The six-week Summer Series will begin on July 21 and run through August 25. Class sessions will be held Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:00 at the National Great Rivers Museum.

Each class consists of a story, a craft project, and a snack. The summer session will include topics such as metamorphosis, summer in the prairie, waterbirds, insects, plant growth, and prehistoric river wildlife. The $18 registration fee includes all six sessions. Join us for some summer fun!

Adults must stay with their child/children for the class time. For any questions, call Erin at (618) 462-6979.
