Highland Terrace Elementary School's fifth graders along with girls from Girl Scout Troop 40011 have been raising salmon in a salmon tank at school.

On a non-student day in March, Mr. Owen and some of his fifth graders, along with Denise Shafer and a few girls from Girl Scout Troop 40011, visited Boeing Creek for an early release of 96 coho fry into Boeing Creek at Shoreview Park. The salmon needed to be released due to overcrowding in the salmon tank.
