Students in Junior Biology Society participated in a conservation project to save the monarch butterflies. Common milkweed, the host plant for the butterflies, is often destroyed as a weed or removed to make room for agriculture. In turn, monarch numbers are now 10% of what they used to be. To help bring back these iconic and important pollinators, the young biologists planted milkweed seeds to grow in their yards. They also made posters to spread awareness.

Student Council and Builders Club would like to thank all who contributed so generously to help those in need. You have definitely made the holidays a little brighter for many local families. #iPride
