TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM PAGE
FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW OUR CHAPTER HAS SPONSERED A PROGRAM WHERE THE STUDENTS IN PAYSON JULIA RANDALL ELEMENTARY 5TH GRADE, AND PINE STRAWBERRY ELEMENTARY 5TH GRADE STUDENTS HAVE RAISED TROUT FROM EGGS SUPPLIED BY THE ARIZONA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT EACH SEMESTER, IN A LARGE AQUARIUM IN EACH CLASSROOM.
THE STUDENTS HATCH, FEED AND MAINTAIN THE FISH, WHICH TEACHES THEM THE LIFE CYCLE OF TROUT IN OUR LOCAL STREAMS.
LAST YEAR (2013) THE STUDENTS RAISED NATIVE ARIZONA APACHE TROUT IN THE TANKS.
