Salmon release field trip

Greetings all,

Just confirmed through DEM--we are having a field trip to release our Salmon, which have been growing in our tank in our classroom.This is a program, "Salmonoids in the Classroom," sponsored by DEM to replenish native species in our rivers. The date is Monday, May 8th.


The details are still being refined, but we hope to go in the morning, do some field work and integrated STEAM centers, then have lunch. We are trying to coordinate a tour of a local hatchery and then return in the afternoon.

Please be on the alert for the permission slips next week. A quick turnaround would be great!
Thanks!
Charlene Tuttle
