Don't Forget the Portrait Fundraiser on Saturday!

Erin Campbell-Pope, Helen's (in Ms. Amber's K-4 class) mother, and her family are taking spring portraits of the preschool students on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 10:00 am for K-3 and 10:45 am for K-4.

All the proceeds from this voluntary fundraiser will benefit the butterfly garden. Erin’s parents have generously donated the photography, set up, and most of the printing costs for the portraits. They are delighted to give back to the preschool their granddaughter attends. Students are encouraged to wear their Sunday Best / Easter clothing as the portrait will be shot with a Spring Garden theme. There will be a portrait on display at the front of the preschool which will be an example of the style portrait you will receive at the fundraiser.


Look for the order form coming home with your child. If you want to participate, complete the order form and return with the $15.00 to your preschool teacher. Each Package will include one 5 x 7 and four wallets. Additional photos and sizes can be purchased.

Thanks to Erin and her family for demonstrating the volunteer spirit!

Flowers are starting to BLOOM

There are some flowers blooming or about to in the garden..

Also, there are some new additions to the garden- some blooming zinnias, milkweed- essential to attract monarch butterflies, and a yellow daisy.

Thank you to the volunteers who have donated pots, soil and plants for container gardens. These will be placed in the garden area this week.

Painting Tiles and Planting Seeds

There are a few projects that we are going to try to do by the end of the month. One is painting some tiles. The garden needs a ‘Butterfly Garden’ sign.  One idea is to have the children in the K-4 classes paint on ceramic tiles, the letters to spell out Butterfly Garden and/or pictures of butterflies, flowers, caterpillars, etc.  

The other project is to start seeds indoors that can be planted by the children in about four weeks.
