Mrs. McQuaid Murphy and the grade 7 late 1 class on the red team at Harkins Middle school had the opportunity this fall to visit the MSA fish hatchery.     We observed them at work spawning Salmon.    The students created this Photo story to explain all that they learned.    The students learned about the local river ecosystem and the conservation work done by the Miramichi Salmon Association.   It was a fun morning full of hands on learning!
