    Dear Friends,

    We are a sixth grade team, Team Z, at Plymouth Middle School, a middle
    school located in Plymouth, MN, 93.5 degrees West latitude, 45 degrees N
    longitude. Last fall we sent symbolic monarchs to Journey North, and
    they traveled to Mexico. They spent the winter in Mexico with
    butterflies from many other states and provinces. Some of the monarchs
    were tagged with special orange tags that spent the winter at a school
    in Angangueo, Michoacan, Mexico. Others spent the winter in the
    children's museum in Mexico City. There also were monarchs that were
    tagged with special green tags. These monarchs were tagged in Saltillo,
    Coahuilla, Mexico.

    This spring we received monarch butterflies in the northerly symbolic
    migration from many areas of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
