Monarch Butterfly Garden Donation
Dear Parents,
We are seeking donations for our Monarch Butterflies Garden that we are creating!
We are asking for 6 bags of white pebbles. These pebbles will be used for as garden markers or for our garden path to our butterfly location. They are easy to make and look so beautiful in the garden! The bags can be located at any Home Depot!
Our vision is to have each child color a pebble starting next week! Please help!
Thanks,
Ms. Driskell!
We are still collecting Box Tops for the school!
Girl Scouts
