Kiwanis brings new bike helmets to Stark Village School. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Piven and Mrs. Gomes came to SVS to give bike helmets to Stark students. Mrs. Piven taught students both about the history of Kiwanis as well as its dedication to helping youth in their communities. Mrs. Piven explained that Kiwanis "is a service organization that has a group of volunteers that want to help prepare youth to become future leaders and provide service to those in our community that are in need." Students learned about how people of all ages can become members and the many activities and organizations that Kiwanis help. We are so thankful that the ladies were able to join us and for our new helmets. If anyone in your family needs a helmet, please call the school, and we will coordinate with Kiwanis to get one!

For the final day of Stark's Summer program the students met up with Mr. Curtis at the Berlin Fish Hatchery. There they learned about the life cycle of young trout from the fertilization of of the eggs until they are large enough to be released a year later. The fish hatchery staff showed studens how they protect their growing fish from predators like eagles, osprey, and even blue herons. The kids even got the chance to feed the fish. The Hatchery staff stay pretty busy, so if you see the fish trucks on the road in April - July, give them a wave, find your fishing pole and dig up some worms!

Stark's summer school program took a few hours to explore the ecosystem in South Pond with the help of AMC. Students scooped mud to find and identify living organisms. They even found a mayfly nymph which is only able to survive in unpoluted bodies of water! Many of the students previously thought that Christine Lake was the deepest and coldest waterbody in Stark. However, South Pond has a spot that is 95' deep and both bodies of water are able to support and sustain cold water loving fish like trout!
