The third-grade class said so long to their baby salmon, which they had been caring for in the classroom, as the fish were released into the Mokelumne River near the Mokelumne River Hatchery last week. During the release, the students took a tour and gained insight into the salmon's lifecycle, including their journey from the river to the ocean and eventual return to the same spawning grounds. Thank you to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for incorporating our class into their salmon conservation program.
