TAKE ME FISHING HUTSELL CELEBRATION: Celebrating ten 
years of reeling in educational benefits ... details on 
Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas (before 4/23)

Once a year, Hutsell Elementary school students in Katy 
ISD, trade school books for rods and reels.

20- Each year, in the spring, we invite our third, fourth and fifth 
grade students to Peckham Park. And we have a beautiful pond 
there. And through TPW, they stock the pond for us. And on a 
Saturday, the children and their families all attend a fishing 
event.

That event is Take Me Fishing Hutsell. Principal Margie 
Blount says this year's event is special, because it's the 10 
year anniversary of the program in the school.

11- We are going to be inviting the alumni. And those students 
will be invited to come back and enjoy the fishing event and 
enjoy the 10th year anniversary with us.

Over the years, Hutsell educators have seen improvement 
in the test scores of students who've participated in the 
Take Me Fishing program. Principal Blount says the 
upcoming celebration on April 23 is for the entire 
community.

13- Texas Parks and Wildlife will be there. They have been a 
great contributor. Game Wardens will be there. We will have 
angler clubs that will be coming. We're looking at this to be one 
of our bigger fishing events.

If you're in the area of Peckham Park between nine and 
noon on Saturday April 23, Hutsell Elementary Principal 
Margie Blount invites you to join in the festivities.

The Sport Fish Restoration program supports our Series.
