Symbolic Monarchs in Mexico

 

Isidro Fabela Elementary, Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6
Amado Nervo Elementary is located in the Buena Vista, Casa Blanca Community. They are near the Sanctuary Sierra Chincua. Notice a welcome greeting on a big wall at the entrance of the school, both in Spanish and Mazahua language, --the mother, and the local language.

This community is originally an indigenous settlement which, became home to Spanish, Italian, Argentinian, but mostly English, French and North American men because of mining business in the whole region in the late 1800’s through the 1950’s.Family names like Fournier, Unzueta, Vieyra, are found along with a mixture of foreign looking peoplein the community.

Children here are very aware of the importance of forest conservation in the region for the Monach Butterflies and our own survival.  They were very proud to tell about their experience of going to help plant to re-forest their mountains last August after the terrible storm dropped so many trees. In one picture the children point to the mountainside where they planted.

The map inside the Ambassador Monarch made students feel awesome when they learned how far their Ambassador Monarch has travelled to reach them today!  They cannot believe their Ambassadors with their letters and gifts have flown and traveled by land to arrive up to here!
