Our Salmon Were Released!

Last Wednesday, April 23rd, the fourth grade team released 44 healthy fry into the big Gulch Trail Creek. The fry will remain there for about the next eight months. You can walk down by the library and cut across the bridge to see where we released them. We would love to know if you see any! 
As long as funding continues, the fourth grade team will host another school of fish next January 2026!
