Hale Kula celebrated the event with art, video, creative dance, and hands-on “caterpillar learning.” Visitors from The Green House educated students and families about the caterpillar life cycle. Ten lucky kids took home their very own caterpillars. All families took home their own copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, compliments of the USO.
