Trout+in+the+Classroom

=Trout in the Classroom= This classroom project for Mrs. Rhodes and Mr. Stoner is sponsored by a grant from TEF.

Our fish are really growing. If possible, please donate a gallon of distilled water for the fish tank. The distilled water helps us maintain better water quality for the trout.
