Hopkins Middle School students are taking part in a “Salmon in the Classroom” project between now and next spring.
Seventh-graders in teacher Richard Reska’s class have received 150 fertilized Chinook salmon eggs from the Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery near Muskegon. The youngsters will feed and take care of the fingerlings when they hatch and until they are released into streams during the first week of May.
The program is made possible through a rant from Trout Unlimited, in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
