In honor of Kansas Day, Jan. 29, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Educator Pam Martin brought some state symbols from the Kansas Wetlands Education Center to Park Elementary School in Great Bend on Friday. As it turns out, many Kansas animals and plants can be found right here in central Kansas, including the official state bird, reptile and fish.
