Our National Parks, which were started by President Ulysis Grant, an Ohioan, when he signed the Yellowstone National Park Act in 1872, are amazing places!
The students at Independence Primary School capped a year of learning about National Parks by holding an Art Show that celebrated creativity and exploration by featuring our National Parks! They told us that each grade level at the school, which serves students in Pre-K through Grade 4, studied one of America's major national parks. The students studied their parks鈥� history, physical features, and wildlife.
The highlight of the evening was the fourth grade鈥檚 five-panel mural that featured our very own Cuyahoga Valley National Park! The Cuyahoga Valley has a historic canal that helped early Ohioans move goods, weather falls, forests, and some wonderful wildlife! The fourth graders captured all of this in their mural!
We鈥檙e proud to give this week鈥檚 A+ Award to the artistic Blue Devils from Independence Primary School for featuring the National Parks in their art show! Keep up the great work!
