What is this all about?

This blog is for the children, teachers , parents and friends of Monroe Academy. Its purpose is to provide a place to archive the Butterfly Garden and activities related to the garden. Contributions and ideas are welcome! This will also be a great resource for parents who sign up for the Butterfly Garden Committee. The garden is located next to the Preschool building, but there are plans to expand the Outdoor Classroom throughout the campus.

Catching up! and Article about the garden in the Monroe Journal


Back in May, just before school got out for summer, the K-3 and K-4 classes planted flowers in the garden.  They had started seedlings in their classrooms.  The zinnias that are now so bright and beautiful (and often covered in butterflies) are some of the plants grown from seed by the children. 

In the fall, a reporter contacted us and asked to do a feature on the garden in the Monroe Journal.  The article came out in November, 2009.  I am going to add the article to the blog.
