Report:	After a quick round of introductions, we left Tukwila Elementary and headed up to the Wallace River Salmon Hatchery. Erin, who works at the hatchery, gave a fabulous tour of the hatchery and showed the kids all the life stages of the salmon. The kids loved getting to touch the fertilized eggs and feeding the salmon. They were amazed by the thousands of pink salmon jumping by the weir in the Wallace River. We left the hatchery and drove the short distance to the Wallace Falls trailhead. It was a beautiful hike and just the right distance to the lower falls for the elementary kids. The kids were proud of themselves and got a big kick out of the waterfalls. It was a fun day for everyone.
