MANITOUWADGE -- Manitouwadge Public School students took part in a three-phase outdoor learning opportunity.
The purpose of this event was to provide Grade 6, 7, and 8 students with authentic leadership opportunities, create learning opportunities founded upon relationship to the land and community and stewardship and resource use.
Students engaged in trapping the minnows needed for the day of ice fishing, engaged in a day of fishing on Lake Manitouwadge, and learned how to successfully clean and process a fish for consumption.
Students were able to try the fish, but also gave much of the processed fish away to members of the MNPS Wildcat community.
This learning opportunity will continue into spring.
