5 students releasing butterflies

Progress South Elementary students got a firsthand look at the butterfly life cycle thanks to Gina Plowman, the school's Outdoor Classroom leader. Each week as they entered the library, students watched as caterpillars transformed into butterflies.


The school has its own Monarch butterfly habitat, a designated stop for many butterflies on their migration path. A group of fifth grade students had the honor of releasing them into the wild today!
