On October 18 and 19, a group of 120 fth grade students from Sage Canyon Elementary attended “Fishing in the Schools Program” hosted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife at Lehow Lake.
This was the rst time the school attended the program. When asked “why take students shing?” Lance Schoenwald, Physical Education teacher
at Sage Canyon commented “I’ve been trying to
get this set up for a couple years now. As part of Adventure Education we do rock climbing, high ropes and archery already so this just another spoke in the wheel.”
Out of 120 students, almost a 1/4 have never even held a shing rod before, and by the end of the day they were all catching sh!
The morning session consisted of learning about the di erent sh species in Colorado, wildlife conservation, identifying sh, and proper handling of a sh after you catch it. Students then learned how to cast the shing rod and reel it in. The afternoon was spent at Lake Lehow shing with a lot yelling, “Fish on!”
This was such a great experience for the students and everyone had a great time! Sage Canyon feels very blessed to have an administration team of Mandy Hill, Kelsey Shoultz, and Stephanie Crowe who allow the teachers of Sage Canyon to teach “outside the box.” They would also like to thank Howard Horton, Alex Doehling and the volunteers from Colorado Parks and Wildlife that put on the program.
