Mrs. Fraley’s Career class is currently participating in an Entomology course. Students are collecting Monarch eggs and larva and raising Monarch butterflies in the classroom. They are participating in the Monarch Watch program and each student will be placing a small sticker on each Monarch and releasing the butterfly. Each tag has specific numbers that students will record and enter on the Monarch Watch website. This tag information allows the butterfly to be tracked and to gain knowledge of their migration. Students are also acting as entomologists to gather specimens for an insect collection. They each are responsible for collecting, mounting, identification, and research on an insect. Stayed tuned for photos of our butterflies!
Parents and Guardians:
We are pleased to inform you that administration of the Kentucky Incentives for Prevention (KIP) Youth Survey will resume in fall 2024! Kentucky’s Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities, Division of Substance Use Disorder supports implementation of KIP, our state’s largest source of data related to youth use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. KIP also addresses mental health, bullying, school safety, and other risk and protective factors associated with youth behavioral health. In 2021, over 93,000 students representing 127 school districts completed the survey, and the findings provided an invaluable substance use prevention and health promotion tool for those communities.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
