Monarch Workshop

On Monday, January 28, 2013, nearly two dozen YCSD elementary teachers participated in a hands-on workshop sponsored by Virginia’s Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The workshop focused on how to establish and use outdoor gardens for instruction. Participants also received books and other resources to take back to their classrooms. The workshop was funded by the Monarch Initiative Project which provides grant funding to establish or expand monarch habitats at each elementary school during the 2013-2014 school year.
