Egg Day is coming!  The Middle School Trout in the Classroom project will receive its delivery of eggs from the Pequest Hatchery on October 18.  Students have been preparing for this day by learning about the life cycle of trout and being trained in the care of the trout tank.  On Egg Day, students will transfer the new "eyed eggs" to petri dishes, where they will cull any unviable eggs. Then they'll place them in a breeder basket in the tank to keep them safe during the early stages of their development.  Please feel free to come down to see the eggs any time.  For more information about the Trout in the Classroom project, visit http://njtroutintheclassroom.org/.
