On Thursday of last week, 4th grade students from
Prairie Elementary School went down to Ahsahka for a brief tour of the
fish hatchery and then picked up their Steelhead eggs for our school fish
tank. Prairie has been an active participant in the "Fish in the
Classroom" project for the last three years and will take great care of
the fish eggs until release in May. Students will be responsible
for feeding them, monitoring the tank temperature and PH levels, as well
as general maintenance. The weather Thursday was outstanding and
the students were able to see a lot of action at the fish ladder.
Teachers, Mr. Wassmuth and Mrs. Schumacher felt that this was the best
field trip to the hatchery yet and want to thank Susan Sawyer for finding
such cooperative fish! It just might be a great destination to visit
over Spring Break!

the egg sorter in the hatchery incubation area.

at the hatchery.
