The hard work from a year-long class project was dumped into Cove Pond in Herriman at the end of the school year. Students in Mrs. Peterson’s fourth-grade class at Foothills Elementary raised a school of rainbow trout. The project saw the students learn about the life cycle of a fish, seeing them go from eggs to juveniles in the classroom fish tank as the year progressed. For the grand finale of the project, the fish were released into the wild with help from Trout Unlimited and Herriman City. Students got to say a final goodbye to their scaly friends, and each scooped up a trout and sent it down a slide to its new home at Cove Pond. Even Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer and Principal Abe Yospe got in on the fun.
Great job, Mrs. Peterson’s class! Way to put classroom learning into action in our community.
