Mr. Doan and Mr. Clement brought Midlakes High students to the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. The Coho and Chinook salmon were completing their roughly three-year life cycle, returning the creek waters they imprinted on when leaving the hatchery.

The hatchery was opened in 1980 and is the largest of the 12 hatcheries in New York. The hatchery will collect eggs, fertilize and then incubate the eggs into fingerlings before they are released in the area waterways. The students learned about the preservation efforts at Salmon River. Both native Atlantic and non-native Pacific species are grown for release in an effort to sustain the population while keeping a balance between large apex fish and prey fish. This benefits the anglers, the population and the ecosystems. 🎣🐟🍣

The process of the 'zombie fish' returning to the hatchery includes a 13-mile up-stream swim where they leave Lake Ontario and press forward for a week without eating to reach their native waters.

Congratulations to Mrs. Bradley's second graders. This was the first group to complete the class-wide Tower of 20 Books Challenge. 📚📚

Elementary Librarian Mrs. Payne issued a challenge to each grade level, with difficulty and independence increasing across each trimester.

Second grade classes were tasked to read and record 20 books as a group. Next trimester, they will be challenged to read and record 10 as a class, and 10 independently. In the final trimester, the students will be challenged to read and record 20 books independently. 📘 📙 📖

The Library also has a new anonymous voting station for students to share, if they wish, their reading habits. They cast their vote by dropping a pompom into one of two jars. This month features a Halloween themed either/or question through Oct. 30: Do you like to read things that are SPOOKY -or- FUNNY? 🎃 👻

How about you: what do you like to read this time of year? Let Mrs. Payne know in the comments! 👀 👀 👀

As the fall seasons draw closer to the final curtain call, football is playing tonight on the road at Red Jacket.

Take a peek at some more student photography - these images were taken and shared by Eriel, a sophomores participating with the High School Yearbook club. She was on the sidelines documenting the win over Palmyra a week ago.

An increasing number of students are taking an interest in photography, as a career path or a recreational hobby. At school, they learn and refine their skills while helping with campus events, Eagle Vision or the Middle and High School Yearbook clubs.

Theatre was busy this morning! The crew continued set construction for Midlakes Theatre Experience production of Melanie Marnich's "These Shining Lives."

The true story focuses on the women who worked at the Radium Dial Company and celebrates the extraordinary courage of ordinary people. Coworkers discover that the job they believed promised them a brighter future has cost them their health, they refuse to let their voices be silenced.

This powerful and moving story comes alive on the Black Box stage November 5-7 at 7:30 pm with a 2pm matinee performance planned for November 8th.

🌱🍃Greenhouse Club was busy at their monthly meeting, planting coleus and marigold seeds before potting citronella plant cuttings. Coleus seeds (small black dots) and Marigold seeds (black and white needle-shaped seeds) have different germination depths. 🌿🎋The students were careful to avoid packing the soil too tightly, and kept the coleus seeds near the top of the pot. The citronella plants in the greenhouse had developed several shoots, which when cut and planted will in turn grow into a full adult plant. The items will grow over the next several weeks in the greenhouse before the club offers them as holiday gifts during an upcoming fundraiser. 🌺🌻🌸

Local fire department volunteers 🚒capped Fire Prevention Week with presentations to the UPK, Kindergarten, First and Second grade classes. The presentations focused on the tools of the trade, and helping students recognize steps they can take to help with fire prevention.

The students also met a fully-dressed smoke diver, helping them see the intimidating appearance is the same helpful firefighter underneath. The cap of the visit was getting to check out the fire apparatus from Phelps FD.

As a reminder, the American Red Cross can help get smoke detectors installed within our community 🚨. Reach out to Phelps and Clifton Springs Fire Services for additional information!
