Due to rain and muddy conditions Crowder State Park trails remain open to hiking only. We anticipate reopening the trails for normal use on Friday June 4th.
Please use caution as the trails are not only muddy but still have damage from flash flooding a few weeks ago.
And now due to rain the dry creekbeds that students walked through yesterday are flowing with fast moving water.

So I've been working on a little project in my spare time. Unfortunately I don't have enough time so almost everyone joined in the fun yesterday and today to complete the project.
Of course today we also hosted two field trips. However, I didn't get a single picture.

Yesterday we hosted Meadville summer school. Today we have Gallatin and Trenton summer schools!

Today, we pause to remember and honor those heroes whose courage and commitment inspire us daily. We salute the brave individuals who gave everything for our freedom. We thank them for their service and thank their families who continue their legacy. We invited you visit a Missouri state park to connect with nature and reflect on their sacrifices.
