Butterfly Garden Groundbreaking!

Hello Hoover Rockets,

WOW!  We had a busy week at Hoover.  Wednesday we welcomed our future Hoover Rockets, the class of 2029!  Thursday and Friday we watched a movie  and students participated in our Butterfly Garden Ground Breaking while the teachers were packing.
Check out the latest edition of Live from the Dumpster!


* Thank you to our parents who came in and volunteered with the Butterfly Garden and with packing the Leveled Library.  We appreciate your time and efforts on these hot days.


  • Butterflies and moths are indicators of a healthy environment and healthy ecosystems.
  • They indicate a wide range of other invertebrates, which comprise over two-thirds of all species.
  • Areas rich in butterflies and moths are rich in other invertebrates. These collectively provide a wide range of environmental benefits, including pollination and natural pest control.
  • Moths and butterflies are an important element of the food chain and are prey for birds, bats and other insectivorous animals (for example, in Britain and Ireland, Blue Tits eat an estimated 50 billion moth caterpillars each year).
  • Butterflies and moths support a range of other predators and parasites, many of which are specific to individual species, or groups of species.
  • Butterflies have been widely used by ecologists as model organisms to study the impact of habitat loss and fragmentation, and climate change.
