Each year, first, third, and fifth grades create an entry for the annual Wimberley Butterfly Festival as their first big project of the school year. Each entry is hand-drawn (no templates) on paper and colored by an individual student.

Frisco and Wimberley, Texas (located in the Hill Country, near San Marcos) are known as "sister cities" and have collaborated on this project for many years under the direction of Ann Rolling, founder of the Emily Ann Theater. In April, a small group of Frisco art teachers act as ambassadors and travel to Wimberley during the weekend of the festival. There they can enjoy learning about local artists, partake in Hill Country eating and shopping, mingle with locals, and mostly importantly, attend the festival.
