Yesterday, Mrs. Kennedyβs 3rd grade class took a hands-on approach to learning about Monarch butterflies by planting milkweed seeds outside! π±π¦ The students, who are currently observing Monarch caterpillars in their classroom, learned that these beautiful butterflies are almost endangered and only lay their eggs on milkweed. Eager to make a difference, they wrote to DBAIC Principal, Mr. Isselmann, requesting permission to plant milkweed at the school. This initiative will provide a crucial food source and breeding ground for the Monarchs. We hope that next year, the students will see the fruits of their efforts and witness the Monarchs thriving! πΌπ¦ #ButterflyConservation #HandsOnLearning #BooneProud

ππ¨ School Attendance Matters! π¨π
Did you know? π€
Regular attendance not only helps students stay on track with their learning, but it also...
- Develops strong habits for future success π
- Helps build friendships and social skills π€
- Ensures your child doesnβt miss out on critical learning π
Every school day counts, and every absence, excused or unexcused, can impact a student's ability to learn and grow. Your involvement makes a big difference! Letβs work together to support our students and make every school day a success.
