Our High Five Friday guests this morning were from Unity Point in Sac City! Thank your for greeting our students with smiles and high fives! We appreciate you!!!
Earlier this week, the East Sac County 3rd grade class had the opportunity to travel to Storm Lake to visit our local Iowa DNR Fish Hatchery. While they were there they learned from a few celebrity Dads, Ben Wallace Fisheries Biologist and Matt Mork, Fisheries Technician, about how they gather fish, collect eggs, and fertilize them.
They then were able to watch them release the fish down the slide back into the lake.
In science students have been learning about fertilization and natural selection. Thank you to the Iowa DNR and these Dads for this awesome opportunity!!!

They will be selling these on May 14th here at the elementary school!!!
