| Jim Siscel, retired Shoreline teacher, talks to a 2010 Ridgecrest class about care of salmon eggs |
For the last four years, Ridgecrest has participated in a Salmon In The Schools program through the auspices of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. Each January, we receive approximately 200-300 salmon eggs. Three to four months later, we release, or ’launch’, them as fry — little swimming fish — into McAleer Creek.

It has been a great opportunity to learn about the life cycle of a salmon and how our personal choices can impact our environment.
On Saturday, May 11, 2013 at Grace Cole Nature Park at NE 166th St and 30th Ave NE in Lake Forest Park, students, families and neighbors participated in this year's release.
