Our special evening is coming-- #MonarchHero

Small Middle School Green Tech Academy recently won a grant to become a Monarch Waystation. We are committed to our education and conservation efforts through a partnership with AISD and the National Wildlife Federation.

Our campus is designing and installing plants for a way-station or stopping point during the migration season. Join us for an evening of fun where you can learn more about our environmental and educational programs, become a #MonarchHero, and see a FREE movie.

Which way did that butterfly go?

The flight of the Monarch butterflies is the longest known distance insect migration on Earth. Several migration routes in central southern Canada lead down through the central U.S. and then wind their way to a dozen specific high mountain peaks in central Mexico where they roost. After resting there for several months, the same generation returns north to Texas and other parts of the southern United States, where the females lay hundreds of eggs.
