Butterflies and the Connections between divisions, Friends School and Mexico



Our Sustainability Mission Statement emphasizes that sustainability at Friends means combining curriculum ("deep thinking"), collaborations, and meaningful action. Hopefully meaningful action can both enhance our understanding of the environment and allow us to play a part in restoring or protecting parts of the ecosystem. When a project does all of those things, we need to celebrate it! And that's why it's worth cheering for what happens when a middle school teacher's class joins up with a pre-primary class, participating in citizen science that helps us cross divisional borders here at school and even bridge international borders. Read more in the original post about how Andy Spawn's and Miriam Fleury's classes  help scientists study monarch migration when they hatch and release tagged monarch butterflies onto their journey to El Rosario, Mexico.
