A predominantly black and orange crowd of winged kindergarteners fluttered by family, staff and friends during the 40th annual Butterfly Parade on the grounds of Donald Rheem Elementary School Oct. 17. Kindergarten teachers Bess Inzeo, Cathy Kathan and Laurel Chee led their charges past parents with cameras and fifth grade "big brothers and sisters." Guests of honor included Moraga Unified School District Superintendent Bruce Burns and retired teachers Alberta Svenson and Maryeda Theer. The parade is the culmination of a unit on the butterfly life cycle. Theer developed the program for Rheem Elementary in 1974.
