With a Jazzy Leafwing, a Rusty Tip, a Silver Spot, a Doris Longwing, a Blue Morpho, a Malachite and a Variable Cracker in hand, students from Hiatt Middle School carefully released butterflies at Reiman Gardens on this week followed by a tour of the grounds and the entomology lab. Through a partnership with the @chrysalis_foundation students have been learning to use film cameras with photography instructor Dan Troxell. He says, “This photography program is about giving students the greatest opportunities to help them grow and to teach self-esteem. It offers them exposure to something new that they wouldn’t normally have access to, and it’s an absolute pure joy for me to do that.”
Hiatt’s Jamie Wilkens explains, "Our goal this year was to build a community where the students felt comfortable to have new experiences and to have them thinking about what their future might look like."
A butterfly release might just be the perfect metaphor for those formative middle school years. Wilkens adds, “These butterflies have been through a very transformative time and now they’re being released, and it’s the same with middle school. By the time they leave, we want them to be able to fly.”
