May 8, 2026: Release Day!

Mrs. Czapla’s and Mr. Kirsinger’s seventh-grade scientists recently participated in the exciting culmination of the Trout in the Classroom program by releasing trout into the Perkiomen Creek. Throughout the year, students raised trout from eggs while learning about ecosystems, water quality, watersheds, and environmental stewardship through hands-on experiences. The program helps students make meaningful connections between caring for the fish and protecting the health of local waterways.

Thank our community partners, Game Commission, Parks & Recreation, and Trout Unlimited, for sharing their time to enhance this experience for our scientists.

Trout eggs have arrived! They all made it safe and sound and right before a storm. The eggs will now acclimate themselves with their new home and the studies begin tomorrow!

Support Projects like Trout in the Classroom

Teachers don’t always have access to materials, technology, and other resources that can make the difference between a lesson that is forgotten the next day and one that lasts beyond graduation. That’s where you come in. Your contribution to the PVSD Foundation helps ensure that the Foundation can continue to support teachers in delivering enriching educational opportunities for all students when tax dollars and traditional revenue streams fall short.
