We Need STURGEON CARE ASSISTANCE!
We will soon have a sturgeon (Nmé) in the house! We are looking for families who are interested in helping with sturgeon care throughout the year on periodic weekends and holidays.
Responsibilities require about a 20 minute stop at the school to siphon the aquarium, top off the sump tank and feed the sturgeon.
We will plan a short, after school training session in the coming weeks to show you the ins and outs of sturgeon maintenance.
If you are interested, please fill out this form and we will reach out soon with additional details.
Thank you for your willingness to help support our Sturgeon Program!
