Principal Newsletter – January 27, 2023

The salmon tank in the main hallway is attracting lots of attention this week. Our salmon are in the alevin stage – spending most of their days in the gravel with their yolk sacks hanging below them providing the nutrients they need. Our students are busy measuring the water daily to keep it healthy. It’s a joy to watch their collaboration and pride as they care for our swimming guests.
