As agents for Dinosaur National Monument, Davis Elementary 4th graders have taken an active role in an effort to save endangered fish locally. According to Davis Principal Rick Johnson, Ms. Biggs 4th grade class is once again raising Razorback Suckers in their classroom and at the end of the year the class will go on a field trip to release the fish into the wild. The Razorback Suckers are only native to the Colorado River Basin and the effort to preserve their species is taken seriously. The Razorback classroom project is a hands on opportunity for students to raise an endangered fish species in the classroom, shares Ms. Biggs, who says the project incorporates teaching of science, art, language arts, math, communication skills and preservation and conservation of our local area.
