At first glance, it  looks like an elementary school Halloween party. Students at Maryville Elementary in Bullitt County parade around the cafeteria dressed as police officers, construction workers, doctors, and more.

Louisville Water has participated in classroom programs since 2000. During a regular school year, we reach more than 40,000 students. To learn more about classroom and community programming, click here.
