Students, Heloysa Da Silva, Yosmeiri Rodriguez, and Camila Duchi Padilla use paintbrushes to gently transfer nearly 70 Monarch caterpillars over to Swamp Milkweed within the Hillside High School Garden grounds! The gardens were inaugurated with an event day that invited the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes to mimic the four stages of the Monarch Butterfly, from the larvae stage to the Butterfly stage! @sustainable_jersey @pseg #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #garden #hillsidegarden #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities

Pre-K and Kindergarten students visited Hillside High School's Garden Club to tour the new Monarch Butterfly Gardens and participate in activities that mimic the life stages of the Monarch Butterfly! Students joined in storytime, yoga, nature hide-and-seek, squirming through wiggle tunnels and having an upside-down hangout session like a caterpillar, being wrapped up in and breaking out of a paper chrysalis, painting, planting seeds, getting face paint and making seed bombs. The high schoolers had a wonderful time hosting and leading the sessions! All the kids were equally excited to meet each other, teach, and learn about Monarch Butterflies and how to save them. Children received butterfly bookmarks and stickers and their classes were gifted with an English and Spanish copy of "Monarch, Come Play with Me!" A NJ Sustainable School Grant @sustainable_jersey funded this event! Thank you to all the teachers who made this event possible including our Garden Club advisors Mrs. Ambrose and Mrs. Comerchero! @sustainable_jersey @pseg #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #sustainablejersey #butterflies #schoolscience #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities
