NASHWAUK \u2014 Students at Nashwauk-Keewatin (N-K) High School will be spending the spring searching for the perfect fishing spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school board unanimously approved adding an angling class to the high school\u2019s offerings for next semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The motion for approval was made during a meeting last week by Director Blake Liend and seconded by Director Dave Bevacqua, and is contingent on the district\u2019s cost for the class not exceeding $3,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teacher Luke Adam requested the class be offered, noting he received a $20,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to offer it as a science elective. The grant won\u2019t cover the entire cost of the class, but he estimated the difference will be about $2,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI love to fish, and am excited to teach students the entire gamut of angling,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ll learn everything from conservation to methods, stocking, careers, invasive species … everything that\u2019s available in the entire fishing industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adam will incorporate parts of the Minnesota Aqua curriculum, but said that\u2019s geared more toward elementary students. The majority of the class will be his own curriculum, and fishing guides will come speak to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, of course, the kids will get to go fishing. Some of the cost to offer the class will go toward purchasing rods and reels, tackle, bait and other fishing equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome kids who will be taking this class don\u2019t have tackle or ice augers, and some have never fished before,\u201d Adam said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a lot of fun for me to get out of my content area and teach something I\u2019m really passionate about to some students at the high school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
