Sturgeon Finally! + Northeast Region

It has been a long wait, but finally our little fish arrived on Friday!  Seeing the kids so excited was worth the wait.  We want to thank Sturgeon For Tomorrow, MSU, parent / community donors to our project, and volunteers for making this a reality.  I will get a video up soon so those of you that haven’t had a chance to see our fish can catch a glimpse.  Please feel free to stop by anytime and take a look.  We will be doing weekly water testing to ensure the tank is a healthy environment for our little sturgeon. 

In the past few weeks the kids have been learning about the Northeast Region.  One of their favorite stops on the tour is Hershey’s Chocolate Factory in Hershey Pennsylvanian! 

SWIMMING ONE MORE WEEK!

This is the last week of swimming so please make sure the kids come with suit and towel each morning.
