Start Planning A Program Now

Start planning a Trout in the Classroom program for your school now.

It is not too early to start planning on getting started with TIC for next year, but it is too late for this year.

Your first step in getting started with the program is to secure your funding. And with times being what they are today, this could take you a while, so why not get started early? Initial cost for the equipment is $1200.00. And while that is a big chunk of change by anyone’s standards, the program will only cost about $50 for the replacement parts for every year after that. You can find a list of necessary equipment on this site under the Resources tab.

So where to get the funding? There are several options. First, you should try and get it through your school’s budget. Your next option is to try and get your parent-teacher organization to fund the program. Fund raising in the school is always another option, but don’t be afraid to think outside the box while looking for funds either.

Equipment must be set up and running by the end of September in order to ensure that you have a healthy environment for the eggs and fry.

After you have secured your funding and gotten your equipment set up, its time to contact the Trout in the Classroom Coordinator, Jessica at 908-637-4125 or via email at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
