Hello,

My name is Mrs. Jennifer Winey. I teach first grade at Lack Tuscarora Elementary School in Honey Grove, PA. We are an energetic rural school with faculty and staff who try hard to integrate hands-on learning experiences for our students. A little over a year ago, we took on a school-wide endeavor to raise brook trout from eggs to fingerlings by participating in the Trout In The Classroom Grant sponsored by the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission and our local sponsor-Penns Creek's Chapter of TU. We really learned a lot through this process and had a lot of fun along the way. This year I wanted to share our successes, failures, and learning adventures with you.

Yesterday, I set up the tank in our newly remodeled school! It looks great. We needed to get the tank set-up 4 weeks in advance of the arrival of our eggs which is scheduled to be in October. So far, things are on schedule. This will allow time for the beneficial bacteria to grow creating the best environment for our eggs.

I can't wait until the first day of school! The students will be so excited about the new floors as well as the new year!
