From fourth grade reporter LaAsha:

On the day we released the butterflies I was ecstatic.  They were beautiful.  When they came out it was like they were so happy that they were out of the pavilion.  When some of them wouldn’t come out Ms.Munchez picked them out of the pavilion and put them on the flower.  We even named them, we named them Dawn, Raymond, Rainbow, Ricky and Lucky.  When Lucky came out of his cocoon he was feeling bad but when we let him out into the wild he started flying high but after that he fell.  I hope by now no one stepped on him. I miss our butterflies so much. I miss Dawn, Raymond, Rainbow, Ricky,and most of all Lucky but they have to be in the wild.

From History.com:

Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the American military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.
