PA Trout in the Classroom
This year, along with Mrs. Goul's classroom, we will be participating in Pennsylvania Trout In the Classroom (TIC), which is a program in where students learn about cold-water conservation while raising trout from eggs to fingerlings in a classroom aquarium.
Pennsylvania's statewide TIC program is made possible through
a unique partnership between Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited (PATU)
and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC).
We would also like to specially thank Mr. Hatala and our PTA for its continued support in the classroom
and helping to make this years TIC program a reality for our students.
