José María Morelos Elementary

Break time at school when Journey North arrived. Many children recognized Rocinante and Estela at arriving and were restlessly running around announcing each other's about the arrival of their letters from Canada and The United States!.

Today, the dining room has not been open, so, some snacks at the school's candy store will do for the next 1.5 hr. time in class before they reach home and have dinner.

Break time is over, children from all grades are address to get in line. The moment they are asked to come together to welcome Journey North with their Ambassador Butterflies, they run frenetic shouting hurray!!!

Children worked on writing their response letters telling about themselves, and about the way they contribute to preserving the monarchs Oyamel Forests as their Winter Sites in Central México.

Can you see where monarchs are part of the road decoration? How many are they in this segment of the road caught by the camera of Journey North?

This school is located at a, say, “third belt” level territory from El Rosario Sanctuary to which It is near (3 km. away). Parents and grandparents of children in this school, Ejidatarios from this community, have somehow more restricted rights to working or being actively related to any of the employment generated at El Rosario Sanctuary during the monarchs Season, however, they make their own living plowing their lands and farming. Fathers and grandfathers are active workers in the construction industry in towns near by.
