Community Celebration Highlights Monarch Butterfly Symbolism and Immigration Journey

The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) Board meeting on April 2, 2025, highlighted the success of a recent community event centered around the monarch butterfly, a symbol of migration and hope.

The discussion emphasized the deeper meaning behind the monarch butterfly, drawing parallels between the insect's journey and the experiences of immigrant families seeking safety and opportunity.
