Today was the first Student Council Meeting. This is when the new officers are sworn into
office. The neat thing about this event
is that the Past Student Council President swears in the New Student Council
President. It is always fun to see
previous students. Thanks Kael for
coming back. Stay stunned for this year’s
Spirit Days. There are some great ones!
Earlier this morning one of our parents sent the
following email related to our OHE gardens.
Because I know the hard work that has gone into and continues to go into
these gardens, I thought it was important to share. “Dropping my kindergartener off at Assembly
today gave me the chance to pause at some of the beautiful native gardens by
the main building. I love how bright and beautiful blue mistflower gets this
time of year, and looking at it made me wonder if there was tropical milkweed
as well since the mistflower is a food plant for Monarch butterflies, but the
milkweed is a food plant for the Monarch caterpillars. Lo and behold, not only
did you have the milkweed a couple of plants over but there were several caterpillars
chowing down! They were big and plump and will be heading to chrysalis stage
soon. I took a couple of shots to share with family and thought I'd share with
you in case there was a way to let teachers and students know to keep an eye
out (attached). It's Monarch migration season and they are on the decline this
year. It is fantastic that Oak Hill's gardens are helping this population as
they move south to their wintering grounds in Michoacán, Mexico! Way to go Oak
Hill Elementary and the parent volunteers who made these gardens possible!” Thank you Grounds Committee, Gardening Club,
and Teachers.
