Give a hungry person a fish and you’ve fed them for a day. Teach them to fish and you’ve fed them for life. Teach them how to raise fish and you’ve fed the planet, too!
Students at Holy Cross Academy in Oneida participated in the “Trout in the Classroom” project. The Mohawk Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited sponsored the project allowing students to develop a conservation ethic with nature by caring for the trout in a classroom. After months of learning about the trout life cycle and taking care of the baby trout, HCA students released the fish into a local stream recently.
Alane Foley, HCA eighth grade teacher, has worked closely with the students. She shared that “It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve with these young men and women on the “Trout Posse,” as the student group is known.
