The Every Student Initiative is a program through the Peoria Riverfront Museum that gives Central Illinois students and educators access to inspiring, curriculum-connected experiences where science, history, art, and achievement all come to life. ✨

Its impact continues beyond the field trip with free family passes for participating students and complimentary museum memberships for sponsored educators, opening more doors to discovery throughout the year! 🍎

As we celebrate five years of Christmas in the Village, we're especially grateful for every visit that has helped support this important mission. When you join us for the holiday magic, you're also helping create meaningful learning opportunities and brighter futures for the next generation. 🎄💚
