Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project

S.T.E.P IN THE PACIFICA SCHOOL DISTICT
by Sharron Lee

For over 12 years teachers in the Pacifica School District have participated in STEP. The program was introduced to the district by teachers Jane Scott Jones and Sharron Walker in 1992, and since that time many teachers have joined the team. Last year 3 more teachers were trained so the program continues inspite of the the fact that the release of fry is no longer permitted in the San Pedro Valley Watershed in Pacifica. Many of the students, however, participate in a cross-grade creek study program developed by Michelle Sullivan, a 3rd grade teacher at Cabrillo School in Pacifica. As Sharron Walker has retired as of Nov 1, Michelle Sullivan will take the responsibility of coordinating the delivery of eggs and be the communication link for the project within the Pacfica School District.
