Help Mrs. Foote

I teach at a school with 43% of the students on free or reduced lunch. Our school is a new school. As such it has minimal landscaping and a few immature trees. My class consists of 5th grade students who have been identified as gifted.

My students are dedicated to leaving a self sustaining legacy to the school. That legacy is a butterfly preserve. We have no materials to build this preserve. We have no expert knowledge of butterflies. My students have the enthusiasm, passion and drive to accomplish designing and building a butterfly preserve. They just need the materials. Together we will learn about butterflies and build a preserve that will last for decades.

We need the raw materials to build the preserve. We have a beautiful Riparian preserve in our town and we have experts waiting to help us. We just need the materials. I want to make their study of the life cycle of butterflies come alive in the form of a butterfly preserve that will benefit not only my current students but also my future students, other children at my school and their families and community members.

With your support, my children will experience the physical manifestation of their dream. By accomplishing this goal they will realize that they can accomplish whatever they put their minds to. With your help, these children will know that they have the support to do what is right and good. They will know how to leave a lasting positive physical impression on their world.
