Over 1,300 Passenger Tickets Purchased
Ms. Estela Romero has picked up the first shipment of Ambassador monarch butterflies. Even these paper monarchs need to travel long distances.
Greetings!
Welcome to the new participants, and welcome back to those who have participated in the Symbolic Monarch Migration project in the past. The October 20 postmark deadline has passed. We are excited to announce that over 1,300 Passenger Tickets were purchased. This means that over 1,300 students in Mexico will be receiving an Ambassador butterfly from one of you!
Envelopes of Ambassadors are still being delivered to Lilburn, GA by USPS as of today (November 1). We will continue to process them and make shipments to Mexico this month.
Ms. Romero has received the first shipment. She will begin her school visits during the week of November 6. She will be delivering your gift Ambassadors along with an environmental lesson to students in Macheros, Mexico.
Follow along with her by reading her blog posts. Ms. Romero's posts are in English and Spanish and will be available later in the week.
If you have not yet posted your participation on Journey North, follow the instructions on this web page. Of course, if you see real monarchs, please report your sightings.
Best,
Susan Meyers
