Socrates Academy Charter School seeks to create a vibrant Butterfly Garden outside or our Kindergarten Hallway. This project aims to enhance the educational environment, foster a connection to nature, and instill a sense of responsibility among students and their families. Specifically in the budgeting of the garden, we plan on acquiring the essential materials to create a successful butterfly attractant area such as butterfly bushes, milkweed seeds, birdhouses, and other native butterfly attractents. 

 

Our project objectives include:

1) Educational Enhancement - The Butterfly Garden will serve as an outdoor classroom providing students with hands-on learning experience about the life cycle of butterflies, pollination and the importance of native plants. 

​

2) Environmental Awareness - Through the incorporation of native plants and butterfly attractants, the project aims to promote biodiversity and raise awareness about the significance of preserving local ecosystems.

​

3) Community Engagement - Involving parents in the maintenance of the garden establishes a sense of community responsibility and creates a sustainable model for the upkeep of the space in future years.
