Why Join MSSP?

Your school can contribute to the restoration of natural habitat for the Monarch butterfly, while at the same time creating a Monarch "Garden of Discovery" in your schoolyard serving as a outdoor classroom to tap the natural curiosity of your children and stimulate science inquiry and learning.

We help you each step of the way, by offering:

• A Resource Guide and Introductory Workshop - to get started
• A copy of "Monarchs and More" curriculum guide with lesson plans
• A Fall Curriculum Workshop - to learn about proven curriculum materials
• A Spring Garden Workshop - to plan, plant, and use a Monarch Garden
• Technical assistance in the planting of your Garden (by an experienced gardener)
• Sister School networking tools - to partner with a Mexican sister school
• Online resources - to enrich your students’ learning process (e.g., 'Monarch Live')
• Eco-tours - to see the Monarch’s winter sanctuaries first-hand and visit your sister school
