The trout are hatching!

Under the supervision of Chris Kennedy, physical education teacher, just over 200 Brook Trout eggs from the Virginia State Hatchery in Verona arrived on Monday, September 27th.  As of today, about 9 have hatched.  The Brook Trout is the state fish of Virginia.  The aquarium has been set up to provide the eggs with the proper environment to hatch and grow.  They are available for observation in Mrs. Corpenings's room and will remain there until they are released in the spring to help reestablish native Brook Trout populations in the mountain streams of Virginia.  Stop by and see them as they grow!
