Volunteers are needed to be a part of the celebration along with almost 1,200 sixth-graders.  Morning and afternoon volunteers will be asked to greet the busses as they arrive, remain with the students during their stations, and escort students to their busses at the end of their 2 ½ hour sessions. Each of the 12 stations will last 10 minutes.  After the first six stations, students will switch from either the DECC or the Vista Star to complete the remaining stations.  For more information about River Quest, visit:  www.seagrant.umn.edu/riverquest.  If you can volunteer, please call Kathy Peterson at 218-724-8332.
