@regen_vort @victor53698121 Thats awesome! Soon you'll have a lot of Monarch butterflies flying around!

At tonight's board meeting, Janet, Lizbeth, & Lisbeth were awarded official certificates recognizing their outstanding achievement in winning the Monarch Garden Design by Mrs. Archer & the JS Morton School Board. I'm so proud of them & honored to be their teacher. #MortonPride

SAALT getting after it! @JSMFC Excellent time today @bio_otoole Your students @MortonMonarchs are impressive! #MortonPride #OrgulloMorton

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

It took just 3 days with my students to accomplish all of this. Pretty amazing. Tomorrow we plant. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. #MortonPride

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

Another great day building the new student designed 5,000 sq ft Monarch Waystation! Digging a dry creek bed and finishing paths. @monarchwatch #MortonPride

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

More from today

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

Hardening up the milkweed and lupine today too

[Morton Monarchs @MortonMonarchs]

We had to start from somewhere! Thank you Mr. O'toole! https://t.co/4upI0Uksur

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

I was especilly impressed with Lisbeth, Janet, and Lizbeth today. Their design is just incredible. It won both the Green 3 house vote and school wide vote. They really took charge today. I'm so proud of all of them. Great job! @MortonMonarchs #MortonPride

[Morton Monarchs @MortonMonarchs]

@bio_otoole This design wouldn't have had a purpose if it wasn't because of you teaching & pointing out to everyone in Green 3 (Now to others around the world) that a specie needs our attention & we can make a change! Thank you for allowing us to help make this memorable change!

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

Second step was to put the plan into action. #MortonPride

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

Students did an amazing job coordinating with each other today. First step was to figure out how long to cut the weed fabric. #MortonPride #Monarchs

[Kevin O'Toole @bio_otoole]

Parents are being educated on Monarchs by students. Great to see! #MortonPride
