The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is celebrating its 20th 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 “Fins, Feathers, and Family Fun” festival.
School Schedule Days
- Wenatchee and Cascade School Districts will be scheduled for Thursday, September 17.
- Eastmont and Cashmere Districts will be scheduled for Friday, September 18.
- Other school districts will be scheduled equally between Thursday, September 17, and Friday, September 18.
Please remember that each school selects one grade only to attend the festival.
We are trying to reach all teachers through email, however some may not be on our current list. Please make sure all your teachers have been included, and forward this information to any new teachers coming on board.
New Teachers
New teachers are required to attend a Teacher Workshop Orientation before they can attend school days with their classes. You will get the updated curriculum, sign up for scheduled activities, and receive cool posters!
After calling all participating school districts, the following dates were selected that best avoided scheduling conflicts for teachers.
New Teacher Workshop Schedule-
- August 18 (Tuesday) 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM
Wenatchee Library Auditorium (in the library basement), 310 Douglas Street, Wenatchee (next to the Chelan County Courthouse). - Make-Up Workshop: August 24 (Monday) 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM.
To schedule a make-up workshop reservation, call 509.548.2921 no later than August 17.
