Are
Your Symbolic Monarch Clusters on the Map?
1259
of you so far have posted to the map. Check it out!
Your butterflies are like little ambassadors carrying messages
of concern and friendship to the students in the monarch sanctuaries
of Mexico. Here is a sample message. Can you read it?
"Gracias por ser nuestros amigos.
Esperamos que nuestras mariposas tengan un año maravilloso
en su escuela." |
|
|
|
| |
|
| Muchas
Mariposas! |
| Here
in the Symbolic Butterfly Capital of the World thousands
of butterflies are preparing for their fall journey. The
butterfly staging area is buzzing with activity! Piles of cluster
envelopes filled with your booklets and butterflies fill the
work spaces. |
|
Lists
are made and checked as the precious cargo waits to make the
trip to the monarch butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico.
|
|
|
|
Each
cluster packet opened by a Journey North worker is like a gift. |
|
|
Like
beautiful snowflakes, the unique butterflies inside carry
with them a caring and interest in monarch safety and conservation.
|
 |
Your
booklet is a gift for the child in Mexico who will care for
your classroom's cluster this winter. Your butterflies carry
a message that's loud and clear:
“Thank you for taking care of our Monarchs!”

| Sneak
Preview: Symbolic Migration Art Gallery |
"Every one--so different. Wow! Look at this one – it’s
amazing! This one’s an ambassador. Look at the details,"
Journey North workers exclaim as they open your butterfly cluster
envelopes.
We've
been busy collecting and photographing many of your butterflies
for this year’s galleries. We think you'll love visiting this
special exhibition of your fine artwork!
Take a sneak preview of the Gallery, enjoy the artwork,
and see if you can find YOUR Butterfly!
