For the first time, some monarchs migrating to Mexico to overwinter have tiny microchips attached to them so we can real-time tracking information on them.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
