The trout eggs have arrived! Fifth graders welcomed our visitors from The Pequest Trout Hatchery and we placed our eggs in their new habitat. Many have already hatched and we will soon begin to feed them. The whole school is excited to follow along with our learning journey. 🐡
This week, our Wolves participated in community building through personal wellness activities led by Sue Murphy.
The trout eggs arrived today from the Pequest Hatchery, delivered by Trout Unlimited, a national organization that brings trout eggs to schools for the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) project. TIC is a NJDEP Fish and Wildlife program that teaches the importance of cold water conservation. The delivery gentlemen and their precious cargo were received to cheers and song. Many thanks to the 5th grade team and TIC advisors Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Rooney. Students later looked at the unviable eggs with the microscope. We look forward to helping our trout grow strong for their release in May.
Mayor Matt Murello visited grade two students in response to their letter asking him to speak about Community and Government and his role as the town's mayor. What a great experience for all involved! ✉ 🗣👏🏻
