A Day for Monarchs

Spectacular monarchs were in flight at the Halloween Parade on Friday morning and again on Friday afternoon. First grade's monarch study was an exquisite display as the students awed families with their unique and wondrous butterfly wings at the parade.

In the afternoon, the first magnificent seven adult butterflies were released to start their fall migration south. It was such an exciting event, filled with the promise of their miraculous journey and the anticipation of those monarchs still to emerge from their chrysalises. Seven new adults are fueling up for their long trip, five are still developing in the shelter of their chrysalises and one lone caterpillar is still munching on milkweed. Mother Nature at her finest!!
