Back to School Night!!
Monty Moments: First week filled with fun!!
Monteith Families,
Our hallways have been filled with joy and bright smiles as students returned to school this week. It is so special to see students talking with old friends and welcoming new friends to our school. The staff at Monteith works so hard to create an environment that is full of teaching, learning and kindness. The staff was overjoyed to meet their new classes and having the opportunity to get to know the stories of our students.
We each walk through the doors of Monteith with our own story and that is what makes Monteith such a special place. Each student brings something unique to our school culture and together we are able to create a beautiful community of learners and we look forward to a year of celebrating the beauty of our community through our stories.
Parents please feel free to sign up and help with lunch and recess. It was so wonderful having so many new faces helping out:
