This week Ms. Terry, 8th grade science teacher and students engaged in a real world service project. These learners took part in the Trout Release at Lake Miramar, marking a milestone in our Trout in the Classroom project! Our students learned about the life cycle of trout and the importance of preserving our local ecosystems. Watching those little trout swim away into their new home was a moment to remember! A huge thank you to our teacher, volunteers, and everyone who supported this incredible journey from classroom to nature. Let’s continue to protect our environment and make the world a better place.
