We want to sell "OODLES OF NOODLES" to fund our BRAVE account! This is the only fundraiser we do to help offset the cost of incentive trips, BRAVE parties, AR parties, field trips, 100 point club shirts, etc. We're hoping these prizes encourage our students to get out there and sell some noodles!
Mrs. Perie's 4th grade class participated in the virtual field trip, "There's a Pig in My Classroom." We toured a pig farm and learned lots of facts about pigs. It wasn't "boaring" in class today! We had "sow" much fun!
Did you know you can see your child's artwork as soon as it's completed? You can also purchase a variety of keepsake items printed with an image if your child's artwork. Artsonia is a program used to organize student artwork and provide families a chance to support the art program. We currently only have 27% of Monroe families connected. I would love to see that increase! There is no fee to sign up. Email me if you are having troubles.
