A third grade student says a final good bye to the salmon they've been raising in the classroom.

Students Give Salmon Advice at Farewell Sendoff

With a wave from the shore, third graders said good-bye this week to the Chinook salmon they have been raising in their classroom since late fall. “Swim fast,” was one students’ advice to his fish as his third-grade teacher carefully dipped the cup holding the fish into the water, letting the salmon swim away. Others offered, “Don’t get eaten,” “Don’t die,” “Enjoy the water,” and even one offering “Catch you later.”
A student holds a ruler up to the fish tank to try to get a measurement of the fish.

Something Fishy is Happening at Lee Elementary

Excitement is growing in Mrs. Boersma’s and Mr. Hanna’s third-grade classrooms. Students have watched their 150 Chinook salmon eggs morph into 3-5-inch fish in the parr stage. In a few weeks, the classes will take their maturing salmon and release them into Buck Creek at Lemery Park in Wyoming.
