🐟 Big news from the tank! Our trout have officially entered the alevin stage! 🎉 Right now, they’re still hanging out with their yolk sacs, which provide all the nutrients they need to grow. They’re not swimming just yet, but they’re busy developing into strong, healthy fry. For now, we’re keeping the water clean, oxygenated, and disturbance-free to give them the best start. Stay tuned as they take their next steps (or rather, swims)! 💦 #TroutInTheMaking #AlevinStage #LifeCycleInAction

📞🍔 Life skills in action! Our Life Skills students have been practicing making phone calls, and today they put their skills to the test—ordering takeout from Jak’s! 🎉 Each student called the restaurant, placed their own order, and even handled payment and pickup. A hands-on lesson that ended with a delicious reward! 👏

The School District will be operating under a two hour delay. Due to the temperatures right around freezing, the road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, have black ice. A delay will allow for roads to be treated and temperatures to warm.
Congratulations to our Jersey Mike's Subs Student of the Week, Austin Laub! Austin's commitment to helping others had made him this week's #astudentabove
🎣 Trout in the Classroom Update! 🐟
Some of the trout have started to hatch! At this stage, they’re known as sac fry or alevin. If you look closely, you’ll notice their yolk sacs still attached—these will provide all the nourishment they need as they grow over the next few weeks. 🌱
While it’s amazing to watch this process unfold, not all survive—just as it happens in nature. The beaker shows the ones that didn’t make it, reminding us of the delicate balance in their journey.
Stay tuned for more updates as these little trout continue to grow! 🐟💧

🐟 Exciting news from Brandywine Heights Area School District! Last week, students in Mrs. Levengood’s, Mr. Donato’s, and Ms. Sheeler’s classes welcomed their new aquatic classmates—trout eggs! As part of the Pennsylvania Trout in the Classroom program, our students will raise these trout from eggs to fingerlings, learning about coldwater conservation and aquatic ecosystems along the way. Later this year, we’ll release our trout, giving them a new home and contributing to local conservation efforts.
Follow along for updates on our fin-tastic journey! 🐠📚
