James Monroe Principal's Update
December Edition
Happy Holidays to your Family!
We wish you and your family a healthy, safe and joyous holiday season. Hoping you are able to enjoy the break from the chaos and stress of this year and find joy being together. The best gift you can give is the gift of time. Try to make some time over the break to read with your child, play a game together or talk about their favorite things!
Best wishes in the new year!

Magical Music
Our talented students have found a way to share their music with the world. Thank you to Mrs. Sanchez for leading our first virtual sing-along! We aplogize for the technical difficulties on Monday evening, so the sing-along was held again on Wednesday morning for the entrie school to live stream after their morning meetings. Please feel free to replay the recording of the sing-along over the winter break!
Also, many thanks to Mrs. Ford for organizing this fabulous Flipgrid Winter Concert 2020 with recorded performances of her students! The children have been able to learn their first song of the season and would appreciate an audience to share their new talent.
