Watch the video to learn more about the FISH Philosophy and how we live it at Lakie!!
The FISH! Philosophy all started in a place you might not expect… A fish market! In Seattle, Washington, at the world-famous Pike Place Fish Market, a small team of fishmongers had a challenge: How do you turn a tough, messy, physically demanding job into something fun, meaningful, and energizing? Instead of dreading each workday, the team decided to completely shift their mindset—and how they treated one another and their customers. They created a culture based on four simple principles: Be There. Play. Choose Your Attitude. Make Their Day. They started tossing fish, cracking jokes, cheering for each other—and something amazing happened. Customers weren’t just coming to buy seafood… they were coming to feel the joy. It worked so well, the concept caught the attention of businesses, schools, and organizations all over the world. That’s how the FISH! Philosophy was born—not from a boardroom, but from a place of passion, teamwork, and human connection. Now, it’s a way of life in classrooms like ours—bringing energy, empathy, and fun into everything we do. #gslakiemiddleschool #lethsd51 #fishphilosophy #middleschoolculture #bethere #play #choseyourattitude #maketheirday
