Senior grows tilapia for use in school cafeteria
October 12, 2016
The fruits of senior Moses Lurbur’s labor were gathered yesterday, as 90 tilapia were pulled out of a pool stationed in the Wenatchee High School greenhouse. Forty total pounds of fish were collected.
Lurbur began the program last December after receiving a $1,000 grant from the Wenatchee FFA program. Fish food for the project was donated by Coastal Farm & Ranch.
“It was a great learning opportunity and I look forward to streamlining the process,” Lurbur said “I think it was a success in the sense that it included students from all over the school, and was a learning not only for me, but for culinary students and teachers.”
