Help save the Monarch butterflyThe monarch butterfly is in danger of going extinct in our children's lifetime. How can we help?We can plant milkweed and flowers, avoid pesticides and spread the word. Tonight you will get to paint a fabulous butterfly picture to take home and you will receive a free seed packet with directions on planting your own butterfly garden. If you don't have a big yard it's okay to plant the flowers in a pot. But remember to never use pesticides on your flowering plants. You don't want to kill the beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. One reason why Monarch butterflies are endangered is the monarch caterpillar will only eat the leaves of the milkweed plant. So your seed packets will contain milkweed seeds as well as a variety of native wildflowers.Information and seed packets from

STUDENT ART GALLERY
The video below shows everyone's artwork. Watch carefully for your own creation. As you can see from the video, not everyone had quite enough time to finish. This was an evening event and, due to busy work schedules, our wonderful Shull school families arrived at different times. I posted just a few of the terrific finished paintings below.

Great job everyone!
My husband & I planted a raised bed, Monarch Waystation in back of the school last fall. I am going to present this idea to my principal and if approved, totally steal this idea and have a Butterfly Paint Night during March, which is Youth Art Month.
