Mrs. Keller's 4th grade class enjoyed a Donut & Milk party this morning for earning the First Quarter Attendance Incentive! Mrs. Keller's class understands that attendance is a priority to support brain power and promote learning. Thank you parents & guardians for assisting your student's educational experience by ensuring their regular attendance at school.
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.

The NED Show at Monroe!
Students may purchase a yo-yo now through October 15th.
The NED Show is coming to Monroe on October 4th!
NED's Resiliency Ride, is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have lifelong relevance: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. During the assembly, students will learn about the importance of these three life skills while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks.
Our school received this assembly at no-cost because another school paid-it-forward to us. We want to help pay-it-forward too, and you can help by purchasing a NED-messaged yo-yo.
Yo-Yo order forms are being sent home today!
Check out the website for more information and resources.
