| 6th Grade | Great enthusiasm at planting the Oyamel tree in the school! | At many schools, Rocinante is glad to serves as the school bus and drop children on the way back home! |
| This child keeps his horse hooked nearby while he attends classes, and rides him back home. |  |
It is so rewarding to see the way children recognize Rocinante and me! They said they were waiting for their symbolic butterflies, and knew both of us would come anyday now. |

| In every school, children pay close attention and participate at Estela's message on of Monarch's life-cycle. They show themselves deeply concerned at knowing of the very small Oyamel areas throughout our country. | The small school planting their Oyamel tree. | Children excited at receiving their symbolic Monarchs and sending their own letter. |
This is a multigrade school. it is a very small community, and the population of children is so low, that there is actually only one child per grade. In cases like this, and, since the community is far away from others around, the state is obliged to keep the school open even for these few children. |

| This one-year-old school is the first the high school for El Rosario community. For generations before, children had to go to Angangueo after elementary school. Because there is no public transportation and it's too far to walk, the children had to board in Angangueo during the school week. Several of Estela's high school mates who came from this area are, nowadays, brilliant engineers in industry in spite of the economic limitations they had to face. Estela feels deep respect and admiration at their courage. | ||
