Mr. Semcken
Hello Montini families, I hope everyone enjoyed their summers and it was amazing to see your students again! Some of you might have heard from your students or you have seen for yourself, my hair is quite longer than normal. I wanted to take this chance to explain why. During the time we were all in quarantine one of my friends was diagnosed with cancer and went through radiation and chemotherapy. He has been confirmed with a clean bill of health and is in full remission. However, he did lose all of his hair and felt self-conscious until it grew back. One night I had a dream about him where he was being ridiculed for not having hair and I told him if I could I would give him my hair. That dream gave me the idea to donate my hair for those who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment. I have never been in a situation where I could donate my hair before so I wanted to take this chance to do so instead of just cutting it off in honor of my friend.

Before & After Care Sign Up
Montini offers a Before & After Care service to our families at the Primary Building every full day of school from 6:30- 8:15 and 3:12- 6 p.m for an additional fee. Each family that signs up will be assessed a $25 family fee on your SmartTuition account per year. Before Care is $12/day and After Care is $14/day, additional child discounts will be applied. Due to COVID-19 students who attend will be kept in small cohort groups according to homerooms. Students who attend the Middle School will be walked over daily or driven by Principals/Office Managers if poor weather occurs.
Please fill out one form per family! Note that your SmartTuition account will be charged the following month for the days that you mark on this form. Drop-ins are available if space allows, please call the Primary office to check availability, 815-385-5380.
