Davis Creek Elementary's first grade class was visited by the stork! Actually, a monarch butterfly emerged from its chrysalis, dried and flexed its wings, and got ready for its trip to either Florida or Mexico to meet up with others of its kind. One of the students in Mrs. Vest's class brought in the caterpillar and provided milkweed for it to eat until it spun its chrysalis, hibernated, and then emerged on Wednesday, September 27, 2000. The first grade class was gracious enough to include all the students at our school in this amazing spectacle. On Friday, September 29, 2000 the class gathered around on the playground while Mrs. Vest carefully put Ms. Butterfly on a student's finger. After hesitating for just a few seconds the butterfly took to the air and fluttered away in a southerly direction. We all felt as if we were saying goodbye to a member of our family! Bon Voyage!
