Salmon in the Classroom Prep
Salmon in the Classroom program begins in October when schools take their tanks out of storage and test them to see if they were working properly.
On January 8th, chum salmon eggs were distributed to 23 schools in Bremerton, Central Kitsap and Poulsbo. Over 1,200 eager students will raise the salmon to the fry stage and in March, release the fry into Clear Creek.
If you would like to volunteer either as a Tank Angel for a nearby school, field trip equipment manager or station assistant during the field trips, give us a shout! We would love to have your help.
Training for the field trips begin in February and it's free and lots of fun! No experience necessary!
As an all volunteer organization, we rely on our community to support these wonderful, educational opportunities.
Contact us to join in the fun! For more info and to volunteer:

Salmon Volunteer Training
In the late 1980s, the Kiwanis Club of Central Kitsap built aquariums for raising salmon eggs in schools so that students could learn about the life cycle of salmon.
They supported this Salmon in the Classroom program for many years until the club disbanded.
But! first they recruited other organizations to continue the program. This is where Mary Earl, Clear Creek Task Force and Pat Kirschbaum, KC Stormwater Education and Outreach Coordinator stepped in around the early 2000s.
Over the years, we recruited many organizations and volunteers to support this worthy program.
We welcome new volunteers and organizations to join in the fun with trainings for the field trips that will begin the end of February.
