This year at HMS, our grade 7 red team students had the chance to visit the Miramichi Salmon Association (MSA) to spawn salmon.   In February we were given 300 eggs.  Over the last few month we have watched them hatch and grow.   We have had the chance to learn about the importance of conservation.  On May 26th, 2012, we returned our fish to the river.  It was a fun day that allowed us the chance to share what we were learning with our families and the community at large.  We would like to thank the MSA, Mr. Humphreys, and Dr. McQuaid for supporting our project this year.Please check view our photostories on Mrs McQuaid Murphy's teacher page to see the tour of the MSA fish hatchery and to see the spawning process: http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/mrs-mcquaid-murphySee Photo Gallery:  http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/gallery/fish-friends-program-harkins-middl...
