The county has one of the largest populations of the species in the United States, thanks in no small part to Holly Springs teacher Katie Thompson and her class of third-graders. Promotional Pens could be used to promote school-driven initiatives like this.
Thompson teaches at Pine Springs Preparatory Academy. Every year she makes sure that her students learn about pollinators and their importance in the ecosystem. Every batch of students that passes through her class is tasked with writing letters to the Wake County officials. The letters encourage the officials to participate in The National Wildlife Federation’s Mayor Monarch Pledge.
Thompson and her students were recognized for convincing all of Wake County’s cities, including Raleigh, to commit to the pledge. Jessica Day, the Mayor of Knightdale, stated:
"You made this happen. You put the letters. You sent them. You asked — you made the request and we were happy to join in. This just shows you as a small example of what you can do when you stand up for what you believe in and ask for it.”
Mayor Ken Marshburn from Garner was so inspired by the letters from the students that he committed himself to completing 10 action items rather than just the three requested by the pledge.
