Thanks to you we will be able to share the excitement of raising salmon at our school for years to come. As soon as we got the tank set up I've been peppered with questions from students eager for our fish rearing project to begin. Once the eggs were added the students were even more excited even though they were just small orange eggs sitting in the middle of our giant tank. Several students quickly expressed a desire to decorate the aquarium and other students even set up their cameras to capture the hatching salmon eggs in real time so they wouldn't miss a moment of it. I are so grateful that I have the opportunity to share this experience with my students.","fullyFundedDate":1729529747795,"projectUrl":"project/save-our-salmon/8866682/","projectTitle":"Save Our Salmon!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
