Butterfly Project

By Student Life

Alpha Academy’s 2nd, 4th, and 5th graders helped to raise our caterpillars into beautiful butterflies.  Students enjoyed their new class pets that were provided by the NCSU Cooperative Extension of Cumberland County program.
Mr. Stinson of the Katherine Johnson STEM Institute presented the life cycle presentation to our 2nd grade students before giving each class 3 caterpillars to take care of.  After cocooning,  Mr. Stinson took the butterflies to their hotel in the STEM Lab and released them on 5/28/21.  Thank you to our Elementary students and teachers for taking such good care of them over the last couple of weeks.  Also big thank you to NCSU Ag Extension and Jessica Drake for providing a great learning experience for our students that discussed the life cycle of caterpillars in person!

 

 

 

International Museum Day

By Student Life

Each year since 1977, ICOM has organised International Museum Day, which represents a unique moment for the international museum community.

The objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organised on 18 May each year or around this date, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world, more and more museums participate in International Museum Day. Last year, more than 37,000 museums participated in the event in about 158 countries and territories.

World Book Day

By Student Life

World Book Day changes lives through a love of books and shared reading. Our mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income. We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them. Designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, World Book Day is marked in over 100 countries around the globe.
