    Dear Friends,
    Our class received Symbolic Butterflies that were cared for this winter by
    a student attending El Pipila Azul School in Mexico named Argelia Blas
    Bailon. They spent the winter in Mexico clustered with butterflies from
    Mexico and five states.

    We were thrilled to receive beautiful symbolic butterflies from:

    Watkins School in Washington DC
    Debbie's butterfly from Northwood Elementary in Seminole, OK
    Brownie Troop #107 from Fremont, CA
    Dominic's butterfly sent from Stagecoach Elementary in Selden, NY
    Sanborn School in Andover, MA (very close by!)
    Isai's mariposa from Coahuilla, Mexico
    Cristina's mariposa from Coahuilla, Mexico

    It was a delight participating in this exciting and symbolic monarch
    migration. We really hope that we will hear from many of the students who
    received our butterflies! Please e-mail us so we can give you Argelia's
    mailing address. We know that you'll be eager to thank her for her gentle
    care of these monarchs.

    Sincerely,
    Grade 2 students from Fiske Elementary School in Lexington, MA
