Ambassador Butterfly Messages
The class butterflies you make and send are carrying messages of monarch conservation and friendship between students in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Ohio: "Saludos a nuestros amigos de las monarchas. Las deseamos un buen viaje a Mexico. Que se cuiden mucho! Saludos desde Ohio." Best wishes to our monarchs and our friends of monarchs. Hudson, OH

Kentucky: "Gracias por cuidar a las mariposas monarca este invierno, de parte de sus vecinos del norte." Thank you for taking care of the monarchs this winter." Fort Thomas, KY

New Jersey: "Hola amigos! Hello friends! Respectamos todos los animales! We respect all animals!” Gladstone, NJ

South Dakota: "Our class hatched and released about 20 butterflies this year!” Garrison, SD

 

Estela Romero Writes: A Message from Mexico
Please keep these two important things in mind regarding the symbolic Monarchs you will be making and sending:

• Greetings from Mexico

After you send your butterfly on its journey, report to the Fall Migration map. Participating classrooms can connect through the map.

• Report: Fall Symbolic Migration Map
