Parents/chaperones must be with children at all times. FISH requests a ratio of one chaperone to every four children.

Wipe down tables & chairs
Wipe down countertops
Collect trash and recycling and put in dumpsters and cans located on the north-side of the hatchery (across the foot bridge in front of the hatchery garage)
Line garbage cans with new trash liners, available in the janitorial closet down the hall or under sink
