The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is celebrating its 22nd year of salmon “edu-tainment.” As always, our target audience for the first two days of this award-winning natural resource education event are third and fourth graders from area schools. We hope your school will choose to participate in this year’s “Dances with Salmon” festival.
We are trying to reach all teachers through this website and/or by email. Would you please review the email list to be sure all your teachers have been included?
*** Please forward this letter to all new teachers coming on board. If you are retiring or leaving your assigned grade then it is very important that you inform us and let us who might be your replacement. ***
School Schedule Days
School schedules are as follows:
Thursday Sept. 20 will include Wenatchee’s Newberry, Mission View, Columbia and Sunny Slope; Eastmont’s Cascade and Lee; and Cashmere.

Schools in all other districts will be scheduled according to space availability for each day.
Please remember that each school selects one grade only to attend the festival to avoid having students experience the event more than once.
