Nine students from DeKalb County schools will help release thousands of baby or "fry" rainbow trout into the cold waters of the Chattahoochee River Wednesday morning. This is a culmination of a 12-week environmental project called "Small Fry To Go" where children help raise trout from tiny eggs smaller than a pea to two-to-three inch fry. Along the way, the children learn concepts of math, science and biology. Children from nine DeKalb elementary and middle schools are involved. The event starts at 10:30 a.m. at Paces Mill National Park, off Cobb Parkway.
