Stokes County 4-H just wrapped up a round of the 4-H Embryology School Enrichment program at King Elementary and London Elementary. We had seven classes at King Elementary participate and two classes at London Elementary participate. Another round of this program will begin after Spring Break, April 19th, in the schools of Germanton Elementary, Pine Hall Elementary, and King Elementary. 4-H Embryology provides great exposure to the students and teachers of the life cycle of chickens. The classes house eggs for three weeks in incubators and on the 21st day on incubation, they watch the eggs hatch into baby chicks.
