Velma Moseley’s sixth-grade students (100 students) at Red River Junior High were active participants in the Youth Wetlands Week program. Because they completed all the requirements of the program they were awarded pizza party on Monday, May 18. Soft drinks were donated by Rivertown Market, and the pizzas were purchased from Pizza Hut in Natchitoches.

The Youth Wetlands Education and Outreach Program is a statewide LSU AgCenter 4-H program sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. The program is designed to heighten students’ awareness of Louisiana’s wetland loss through an organized educational program of outreach, empowerment and advocacy.

We want to thank all the Red River Parish teachers and students who participated in Youth Wetlands Week and are looking forward to next year.
