Please let us know if your ability to attend this year's Salmon Festival will be dictated by transportation costs.
You may be eligible for supplemental transportation funding.
This is a competitive application process. Applications will be accepted, in hand, through Tuesday, September 9, 2011. Funds are very limited this year so a completed application does not mean funds will be made available to you.
Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the Salmon Festival Education Committee.
Decisions will be based on connection of the field trip to classroom goals, demonstration of need, and your ability to provide matching funds to meet your ultimate funding goal.
A telephone interview may be required. Decisions will be notified by email.

The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is celebrating its 21st 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 Bavarian themed “Salmonfest Willkommen!” 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. ***
Wenatchee and Cascade schools will be scheduled Thursday, September 29 and East Wenatchee and Cashmere will be scheduled Friday, September 30. We will schedule schools in other districts for one of those dates as well.
Please remember that each school selects one grade only to attend the festival to avoid having students experience the event more than once.
On-line registration will still be available for alumni teachers only. In order to better accommodate your salmon festival preparation, on-line registration will be available July 5th.
Registration forms, etc. will be available by visiting this website beginning July 5th. A teacher link will provide you with all the information to register.
All scheduling is closed after August 25th.
You will receive your schedule via email, so please fill out the registration form completely by providing both your school and summer email addresses.
All new teachers are required to attend a teacher workshop before they can attend school days with their classes.
The workshop is scheduled for August 24th (Wednesday) from 1:00 – 3:00 at the Wenatchee Library Auditorium located in the basement. The library is located next to the County Courthouse at 310 Douglas Street.
Please put this date into your schedule, as this workshop is mandatory.
During this workshop, new teachers receive an orientation to the Salmon Festival, a curriculum, cool posters and will sign-up for scheduled activities. Please call or email Susan or Lynann if you have any questions.
Thank you for your continued support of this special event and we look forward to seeing you!
