Earlier last month, Rebecca Krans with the Michigan State University Extension planted a butterfly garden for North Elementary School to enjoy and learn from! This garden will be registered as a Monarch Waystation as it will provide nectar and shelter for Monarch butterflies, as well as other important pollinators.

Showy goldenrod, New England aster, pale leaf woodland sunflower, grey headed coneflower, Joe pyeweed, early goldenrod, foxglove bearded tongue, bergamot, calico aster, pale purple coneflower, wild strawberry, butterfly weed, and Marsh blazing star were all planted to encourage pollinators to pollinate and take shelter. It may take a few years for it to grow, but once it does, it's going to be a very special place at North Elementary.

Thank you, Rebecca and the MSU Extension for your donations of materials and hard work to make this dream a reality!

Additional fishing books for all reading levels were donated to the North Elementary Library in honor of the late Mountaineer, Gabe Richtig. Thank you, Richtig family for the generous donation! Gabe's memory continues to live on in the hearts of the Mountaineer community.

Please bring your donations to school for this year's TV-6 Can-A-Thon!
