One Book, One School is here!

3/11/2024 1:10 pm

Let the reading adventure begin! Join this community-wide reading event that provides every Monroe School family the opportunity to read the same book, The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. 

 

Copies of the book were distributed on Friday, March 8th, and sent home with the YOUNGEST student in the family. Each family received a copy, a bookmark with a reading schedule (chapters spread out across 6 weeks), a parent letter, activity guide, an order form for additional books in the series, and more. 

 

See this week's QUESTIONS to spark discussion. The whole family will go wild for this remarkable robot! 

 

Students also have the opportunity to create their very own diorama recreating scenes and characters from the book. CLICK HERE for instructions. Final dioramas will be displayed during Fine Arts night and at the Monroe School book fair this April 25th!

Season of Science Wraps Up

3/11/2024 1:08 pm

We hope our Monroe students enjoyed the Season of Science this year! 

 

Thank you to the dedicated science committee - Lina Bankert, Neha Joshi, Samar Diab and Megan Steenman - who worked so hard to put a wonderful program together beginning to end, including take-home science activities and assembly coordination! 

 

Thank you also to all of our Monroe community parents in STEM who shared how they use science in their day-to-day life. Between our January kickoff assembly with Get Science and last week's closing assembly with the Museum of Science and Industry, we hope all our Mustangs learned a lot. Keep your eyes peeled for another "out of this world" assembly coming this month, and the return of Science Fair in 2025!

Flag Grant Success!

3/11/2024 1:07 pm

This week we wanted to share a bit of good news! 

 

Three 5th grade students noticed that not everyone felt represented by the flags hanging in the gymnasium and they took action! The students collected data from a student survey and came up with a list of missing flags. They worked with Mrs. Kaumeyer and submitted a grant request to the PTO; the PTO was happy to fund such an initiative. Thank you to Marlowe, Aria and Lana for taking action and promoting inclusivity! 

 

Keep your eyes peeled for the 23 new flags that will be hung soon!

Monroe Yearbooks - Orders and Personalized Pages due April 1st!

3/11/2024 1:06 pm

We've worked hard to capture as many moments as possible in this year's yearbook and we know all Mustangs are going to love it. Haven't ordered yet? No problem! We have re-opened the ordering window through April 1st. 

Get started by creating your free Treering account (or if you have one, log in and follow the ordering prompts. Don't forget to add new students!).

Parents with an EXISTING Treering account:

  1. Login to your account on treering.com
  2. On the left side menu you will see your students, click in that section to 'buy yearbook'
  3. If you need to add a new student (i.e. Kindergartener), Go Under "Kids", "Settings", and "Add Kid"

NEW MONROE FAMILIES without a Treering account:

  1. Visit treering.com/validate
  2. Enter our school code 1014404412984041
  3. Follow prompts to set up your account and order

Personalized pages are also available - your book includes two free pages for you to personalize with your photos and your memories. It takes about 10 minutes to add photos and complete the two free custom pages included with your yearbook. Personalized pages are totally optional but if you love them and want more than two, you can add additional pages for $0.99 for each set of two pages. You can get as simple or as fancy as you'd like - just follow the prompts to create. Personalized pages are also due April 1st.

Please note that we are not able to order printed books to have 'on hand' for purchase at the end of the school year - if you do not order through Treering by April 1st, your student will not have a yearbook. Please contact Treering directly with any issues with ordering/personalized page creation at (877) 755-8733.
