Investor
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
A Champion For Learning - $1,265.43
Goal
To help spread awareness and seed dispersal to our community, so that we can provide assistance in helping our endangered Monarch butterflies have the food resources they need in our area.
What will be done with my students
Students will make recycled paper and cut them into a variety of labels and stationary.
Students will attach Milkweed seeds to all their paper creations.
Students will sell these products at the annual Winter Extravaganza and Spring Fling.
Students will have a table to educate the public about the importance of the Monarch as a pollinator as well as why they are now on the endangered list. They will also discuss what we can do to help the Monarch.
Students will explain how people can just drop the environmentally friendly recycled-paper creation with seeds embedded into soil and simply water them to raise their own Milkweed plants for the Monarchs.
Benefits to my students
Students will actively engage in a real-world conservation program. Students will be empowered to take an interest in the world around them and become an active member in helping our planet. Not only will they collaborate with their peers, but also community members and organizations that are experts in Monarch butterflies. Future goals will be raising Monarchs and participating in the tag/release program and data-collection.
