Monroe Families-
Thank you for Stocking the Lounge! If you would still like to donate drinks, snacks, fruit, veggies for our staff to enjoy during the school day there is still time. The sign up genius link is here. Simply select a January item, drop them off at the school office or send in with your child this month.

Even though we designated a grade per month you may donate any month(s) you'd like. This is a great way to shower our teachers and staff during these cold winter days.
