Sacajawea Releases Salmon at Matthew's Beach

Since 2013, students and teachers at Sacajawea have been participating in Salmon in the Schools to release salmon fry into Lake Washington. This program teaches students about salmon lifecycle, data collection, and environmental stewardship. Mr. Reddecliffe is our site leader for this project, and he’s been using this project to teach our students for almost 10 years!

This year, Sacajawea students from all grades gathered at Matthews Beach to release 163 Coho salmon fry into Lake Washington. Students took turns using small cups to gather the fry from a bucket and gently release them into the lake.

Way to go, Sacajawea!
