MIS Monthly Message
December 2015
Welcome December!
It's hard to believe that the Christmas holidays will be here in just two weeks! We have several things going on this month that you'll want to know. Please see the calendar below for important upcoming events!
Hour of Code
All Monticello students will be participating in the Hour of Code this Tuesday from 8 - 9 am. Check out this video to understand what coding is all about! Our students have been given the opportunity to code the last several weeks in their Keyboarding class and they LOVE it!
Hour of Code 2015 - WORLDWIDE
Annual Canned Food Drive
We are currently collecting canned food that will help to replenish the local food pantries. Please help us out by donating what you can. The class that brings the most canned food will win a pizza party!
Deadline is this Friday - December 11th!
Tacky Christmas Sweater Day
Friday, December 18th will be the day to wear your tacky Christmas attire! The tackier the better! Teachers will select one winner from their homeroom class and overall winners will be chosen in the Christmas sing-a-long by guest judges. Let's see how tacky we can get!
Socks for Seniors
We have a group of EAST students who are currently doing an EAST project where they collect socks and lotion for senior citizens. These will be taken to Belleview and given as Christmas presents to the residents. If you'd like to donate any socks or lotion, please send them to school by this Friday. Thanks for helping our students learn the value in giving to others!
Christmas Sing-a-long
We will have our annual Christmas sing-a-long on Friday, December 18th at 8:30 am for students and staff. Students will be singing well-known Christmas carols and enjoy a few surprise performances from staff!
Dismissal Change
