About
This story is about Amy Kuehl’s first class pet, Old Sport the betta fish.
Story
Mid February of 2017, Class of 2020 member Paige Zepeda arrived to Amy Kuehl’s first period class with a Venti Starbucks cup of water containing one male betta fish.
The fish lived on the venti Starbucks cup of water for a few days and in that time acquired the name “Old Sport” via Class of 2018 members Duncan Kelley and Glen Nagle. This was a reference to The Great Gatsby which the English class the two were enrolled in was reading at the time.
After a few days of life in a Starbucks cup, Old Sport was moved into a fish bowl with gravel and plants supplied by Class of 2018 member Joey Babcock.
Old Sport lived in this enclosure for about a month until one student noticed that Old Sport was no longer moving. To avoid causing Kuehl sadness, during lunch students swapped out the first Old Sport for a new one without her noticing.
Generally neglected and without much natural light, Old Sport II lived for another month or so before dying of natural causes.
