Fourth graders and their families can visit any National Park for free

To keep the younger generation busy and educated even when school is out, the National Parks Service offers free entrance to elementary school students throughout the United States.

Fourth graders and their family members are given free admission to all of US national parks for the whole year. This means that current fourth graders who are moving on as fifth graders can still take advantage of the free admission even during summer. However, third graders who will be entering fourth grade when the next school year starts will have to wait for school to start to get their own passes. 

This is still part of the ongoing campaign “Every Kid in a Park,” where young Americans can enjoy ancient dwellings, as well as the historical and natural view of the United States even when they are on a break. Not only will it serve as an educational trip, because students and their families can enjoy leisure time without having to spend a lot on trip. Students and their families can choose parks that are close to home, or they can move across states to explore new culture and heights. 

Educators, fourth graders, and parents of fourth graders can visit the official website of the Na-tional Parks Service to get passes.

The All-Time Best Coaches In Canes' Football Program

The success of the Miami Hurricanes football program for much of the past decades can be attributed to topnotch coaching. Some of the best coaches to have helmed the Canes are the following:


Jimmy Johnson

Best known for leading the Dallas Cowboys to two consecutive Super Bowl titles in 1993 and 1994, Jimmy Johnson coached the Hurricanes from 1984 to 1988 before heading to the professional league. And during those years, University of Miami were perennial contenders, even winning the NCAA Division I title in 1987.

Howard Schnellenberger

Credited as the man who “built a fence around South Florida,” Howard Schnellenberger made sure that Miami’s homegrown football talents remained in the city, forming a Hurricanes dynasty in the 1980s. He also kept his word that he would bring a national championship to Miami when the Canes won its first ever in 1983.


Larry Coker


During the very first season that Larry Coker took over the coaching position from another all-time great coach Butch Davis, Coker led the Hurricanes to two titles: the 2001 national championship and the best college football team of all time. Unfortunately, when his players began to leave for the professional leagues, Coker found it difficult to lead the team back to another championship.
