Veterans' Day - Butterfly Tree

As part of our Veterans' Day celebration, our class participated in a national project called The Butterfly Tree. It honors each of the U.S. soldiers who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Butterfly Tree is made by kids from all across America. Every red, white, and blue foam butterfly will have the name, rank and age of a soldier who has died placed on the back. The butterflies are attached to the display tree. The motto of the butterfly tree project is "The life of a butterfly is short but it's impact on the world cannot be measured". The life of a soldier is the same. Thank you to all of our Veterans!
