(Elbow Lake, MN) School
of Fish, a unique kids-fishing education program, announced the addition of
Fish On Kids Books as a sponsoring partner today. Fish On Kids Books
partnership will begin with School of Fish On Ice this coming fall.
Designed as a three-hour fishing class for upper elementary and middle-school
age kids, School of Fish hosted 22 open-water classes in 2013 and graduated 458
students. Based on those successes,School of Fish
will launch School of Fish On Ice for fall/winter 2013-14. Taught in a
fast-paced and fun environment, kids learn about finding and catching fish in
the winter, ice safety , knot tying and how to rig their own ice fishing
set-up.
Additionally, kids leave class with their own rod & reel, tackle pack so
they are ready to enjoy more time on the ice after the program. The new Fish On
Kids Books sponsorship means each School of Fish On Ice graduate will leave
class with the first book in the five-book series entitled, A Whirlwind Opener,
by K.J. Houtman.
"School of Fish is about angling and kids enjoying time outdoors,"
said Mike Frisch, one of the School of Fish founders. "Houtman's
wholesome fictional stories are about those kinds of kids," he continued.
"As a former teacher, I am thrilled that we are able to provide each
School of Fish graduate with a chapter book that will build on the interest of
fishing we start in the school. The books, targeted for eight to 12-year-olds,
are a series that kids and families can continue to read." Families may
wish to purchase the remaining books in the series as paperbacks or as e-books
for a Kindle or iPad.
School of Fish is offered to fishing/sportsman's clubs, civic organizations, and
retailers. Designed as a turn-key opportunity, School of Fish provides
materials and training, while the local group gets the recognition of providing
a great opportunity for their community.
"We are thrilled to join with School of Fish and bring the books that
embrace a positive message about fishing and the outdoors to the students and
their families," added author of the series, K.J. Houtman.
