Our business partners and local businesses join the school for a field day where everyone participates in planting flowers and cleaning the surroundings of Kagel. Through generous donations of time and materials, Kagel gets spruced up for the spring. This project is a year-long study that is integrated into the curriculum.
Science classes incorporate units on plants and environment.
Math is used to calculate the plots and the amount of flowers, topsoil and other materials needed. Each year students participate in a contest in designing the artwork for the invitations and buttons. Project Butterfly 2000 Project Butterfly took place on May 22. This year the students not only planted around the school but also planted on a vacant lot across from the school. Surrounding community members helped with the planting and also donated food to help feed all those hungry workers.
