It's set them free day!

Mr. Kropf's 3rd graders and Mrs. Bradford's kindergarteners released their 127 chinook salmon parrs into the the Rogue River last Thursday.
This hands-on learning experience allows students the opportunity to raise, care for and maintain the salmon in their classroom from fall until spring. The program culminates at the end of the school year with the release of the young fish in a local watershed that feeds one of the Great Lakes. Students and teachers participate in a program to follow the life cycle of salmon from eggs, to alevin to smolt, starting in the classroom. Many sad goodbyes were said as the young salmon headed downstream for the next stage of their life cycle.
