The Lookout Mountain Beautiful Garden Club inspired students at Fairyland Elementary School and Lookout Mountain School to explore the life cycle and migration of the monarch butterfly through a “Monarchs Over the Mountains” poster contest in September. Each fall, monarchs migrate over the mountain seeking nectar on their journey to hibernation sites in central Mexico. Students learned about native flowers and host plants essential for the butterflies’ 1,700-mile journey to the oyamel fir forest near Zitacuaro, Mexico. The contest fostered student curiosity, research and artistic expression, teaching students how to protect these delicate creatures and their habitat.
Fairyland Elementary School teacher Delin Brown, along with Taryn Yorba, STEM teacher, and art teacher Leila Vaughn, guided students through the learning process. The winners from each grade are Lillian Otto, kindergarten, Vivian Jones, first grade, Makenna Kellum, second grade Jayden Marshall and Boyd Smith, third grade, Hazel Baldschun, fourth grade, and Ava Gardner, fifth grade.
Lookout Mountain School art teacher Ryan Patterson chose these fourth grade students as winners: Eleanor Gerwin, Zoe Shepard and Lily Gray Frick. These students each received a certificate and a blue ribbon to acknowledge their achievement. Congratulations to all of these very talented students.
