Two fifth grade classes at Dent Elementary School have some special guests residing with them for a while … salmon. The classes of Sheri Hillstrom and Chris Casazza have tanks containing the now fully grown fry – about to become fingerlings – which they started from eggs. The two teachers went through training to offer the salmon life lesson to their students, becoming certified through the San Joaquin County Office of Education.
