MOULTRIE, Ga. — This fall the second grade classes at Stringfellow Elementary School are joining students and scientists across North America to track the monarch butterfly’s migration to Mexico.

As the migration progresses from September to November, students will learn about migration and how monarchs connect people across North America as they migrate across international borders.

Shown are Cheryl Willis’s and Yolanda Carter’s second grade classes, which made and sent symbolic monarch butterflies to the children in Mexico who live beside the monarchs’ winter sanctuaries.
