Thanks to our Junior Explorers, the MCE garden is in full bloom! 🌼💙

🦋 After weeks of observing, learning and caring for their caterpillars, the Junior Explorers celebrated by releasing their butterflies!

At last month’s Celebration of Excellence, we honored these outstanding recipients of the Minnetonka Community Education Volunteer and Business Partner Awards.
