Trout in the Classroom 2010

This year we have thirty-three schools in southwest Idaho and ten in the west central Idaho highlands involved in Trout in the Classroom.  For the first time we have more than 40 schools involved in the program.

Egg pick-up was February 3rd and went off without a hitch.  All the schools are now deployed with trout eggs, tanks, chillers, and enthusiastic students and teachers poised for the 12th year of this program.

In a year that will be noted for the first time when the state Idaho will spend less money on public education than the previous year it is heartening to see one education function that is expanding.

The Ted Trueblood Chapter says thank you to Idaho Fish and Game, the Perkins Family Foundation, participating schools and teachers too numerous to list and the Boise Trout Unlimited staff for their support for this program.
