Mother Seton School’s Annual Trout Release Field Trip
On Wednesday, April 29, the seventh-grade class from Mother Seton School went on the annual trout release field trip at the Roddy Road Covered Bridge.
Through the entire school year, we all took really good care of the fish, and we were all looking forward to the release day! On this field trip, we were sorted into three groups: one doing a scavenger hunt, the next trying to find living creatures in the water, and the last one releasing fish.
In the scavenger hunt, we went around the park to find various objects in nature, and once we found them, we checked them off. For finding living creatures in the water, we were each given one screen, and we dunked it under the water and moved it around to try and see if we could pick up anything. I think most of us just caught leaves, to be honest. And finally, for releasing the trout, we each took a plastic cup, and one at a time, we dunked it in the bucket where the fish were. The amount of fish you caught in your cup was the amount you released. I caught five!
I asked some of my classmates if they had fun on the field trip and why. Vivienne Weiant said, “It was fun because we got to swim.”
Tami Azeez said she enjoyed being active as a class. “It was fun because we got to be outside and play in the creek,” she said.
Finley Brodsky said, “I liked it because I got to hang out with my friends and have fun in the water.”
I was looking forward to this for years, and I hope it’s just as fun when the younger classes do it!
