Trout in the Classroom

 

 

Glen Meadow Middle School received a grant to bring trout in the classroom to our school. The grant didn’t include a fish tank stand so we needed to fundraise to purchase it. In picture 1, Brian Cowden from the North Jersey chapter of Trout Unlimited, pours the baby fish into the tank. Shown in picture 2,are Tracey Geary, Camila Sanchez, Mandy Corbran, Janie Mengersen, the student coordinators of the fundraiser. In picture 3, Mr. Henry Glen Meadow teacher checks on the fish. Picture 4 shows Mrs. DeClemente Glen Meadow aide and Martin Pirringer watch the trout beginning to move about the tank. Picture 5 Mr. Henry and Martin check the pH of the tank. In picture 6, Martin, Mr. Henry, Mrs. DeClemente and Patty Perreira monitor the quality of the water.
