    Description

    Story Time at the Butterfly House

    In March we will be celebrating our blue morpho butterflies with Morpho Mania! Our story time will be based on what is happening inside the Tropical Conservatory (blue morphos and the tropics) and what is happening outside in our Native Butterfly Garden (overwintering bugs). We are looking for volunteers who love to read books to children and families. The education staff will be choosing the themed books for our volunteers to read. Each opportunity is an hour long. We would like each volunteer to come in at 10:30am to view the books and get comfortable. Story time starts at 11am. Depending on the audience, story time can be anywhere from 10-30 minutes.

    Volunteer shifts are Tuesdays-Sundays in March, 10:30am-11:30am.
