From the Principal
We had amazing weather for our Walk-A-Thon this past week. It was a sunny day and our students had a great time walking. I have included some pictures below of our Monroe family having fun at this event. Thank you for your generous donations!! The money raised will provide great experiences for our students. We appreciate you supporting our school. Our prize winners will be announced soon.
Fall parties are coming up soon. They will take place on Friday, October 29th. Your child's teacher will be sharing more about these celebrations soon. Due to Covid and us limiting our visitors inside the building, parents will not be able to attend the classroom celebrations. Pre-packaged snacks will be permitted. In addition to classroom celebrations, students will be having a character costume parade starting at 2:30. Parents can attend this parade, it will be outside along the sidewalks. Following the parade, please plan to stay and enjoy a snack and hear information about what being a Title One school means to your child's education while our students are in their classrooms celebrating fall.
Have a great weekend!

Destination Imagination
Jonathan Alder will be hosting a Destination Imagination (DI) program in our Elementary through Junior High schools for the 2021-2022 School Year!
DI is a national competition program that engages participants in project-based challenges that are designed to build confidence and develop extraordinary creativity, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills. The goal is for our students to be inspired and equipped to achieve anything they can imagine in life. That means students have a fun learning experience that is kid-powered STEM centric and team driven. This friendly competition motivates teams to reach for the stars while also rooting for each other and celebrating differences in ideas. If your child is interested in participating please fill out this form, to participate as a Team Manager or volunteer please fill out this form. More information about DI can be found here.
