The Butterfly Brigade was started in 2004 when my class petitioned the City of Coconut Creek to bring back the Adopt-A-Street program. Each month, my class goes out and cleans the road adjacent to our school. We always need parent volunteers to help keep us safe, so let me know if you can help us! Each page of the site provides information about my classroom and the activities we participate in during the school year. Also, check out my favorite links!
