We woke up early and went to the large
elementary school in town (Escuela Primaria
Isaac Arriaga). The students were really
excited to see us. The teachers, cuates from
Papalote and scientists from Minnesota were
all there and eager to share stories and
questions about the monarch.
Students from the morning session went out
into the courtyard for snack. It was very
crowded, students were calling out "Frankie,
Frankie, Frankie." The students were eating
tortillas and drinking colored liquid out of big
plastic tubes. As all of this was happening
monarchs were flying all around the courtyard.
Students were laughing and talking to each other
about the monarch leaving and heading north with us.
Back upstairs, two classrooms were still making
balancing butterflies. The students showed us
butterflies that they carried in the Monarch
Festival Parade the day before we visited.
They sang a cheer for us.
