Do you need a break from teaching for a few moments? Do you ever wish you could have a guest speaker visit your classroom without going through a pile of paperwork and administrative fumbling? Well look no further! Missouri National Recreational River can give you that guest speaker for which you yearn. Our park rangers are knowledgeable on subjects such as the Missouri River, its inhabitants, the history of the region, and the National Park Service in general. We offer a variety of PowerPoint slide programs and hands-on exhibit programs geared to South Dakota and Nebraska curriculum standards.
