🍎🍏 Our littlest Rangers had the SWEETEST start to ECFE! 🍏🍎
Last night was all things APPLE as we kicked off our first night of ECFE!

Mrs. Hampl's 3rd grade class was wrapping up their morning meeting when wings began to emerge! 🦋They had noted the dark color and transparency of the chrysalis 30 minutes prior. Most exciting & welcomed blurt ever was …”It’s hatching!” The class went silent and the watched…until fully emerged. By 2:30, they could tell it was time to let her go! (She was named Cupcake by a group of kids).
They released her out the south door to give her a head start on her journey to Mexico! A truly beautiful experience!
Thank you to Isaac Fuller and family for brining this experience to Mrs. Hampl's classroom on the first day of school. They had been observing the chrysalis each day. 🦋
