Salmon in Schools:
​
Sound Salmon Solutions is bringing their Salmon in Schools program to three Mukilteo elementary schools thanks to the Mukilteo Surface Water Utility. Columbia Elementary, Endeavor Elementary and Mukilteo Elementary will receive a 55-gallon cold water aquarium to keep at their school to raise coho salmon from egg to fry. During the hatching time, the schools will also receive multiple lessons teaching  students about the salmon lifecycle, salmon biology, and ways they as youth can help protect salmon habitat and their local environment. Next spring, the students will be taken on a field trip to a three local streams in the City of Mukilteo that have been idented by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as Salmon baring streams. The students will then release the Coho Salmon they reared in their classroom. Students will also learn about macroinvertebrates and learn how to identify native plants and how they are used by Indigenous peoples. For more information on the program please contact Meiring Borcherds at mborcherds@mukilteowa.gov

Here at Columbia, our tank is set up and the Salmon eggs will be here in January. Our students are anxiously awaiting their arrival!
