THANK YOU!

The 23-24 Monroe PTO could absolutely not function without the generous time and talent of our community parents. Over the next few weeks, we would like to express our deepest THANK YOUS to wonderful parents who help so much! These jobs are time consuming and sometimes thankless- we appreciate you!

Thank you MIRA BONEVA-COLEMAN and LESLEY DAWARAVOO for organizing an exciting One Book One School event! Students and their families are raving about The Wild Robot, and loved all the work you put into Fine Arts Night!

Thank you SHAUNA PHELAN AND VANESSA FAVIA for not only chairing hot lunch, but making it possible to have it every.single.Friday!!! It is a lot of work to coordinate and a weekly time commitment for you both; but parents have rejoiced at the option of not having to pack lunch 1x a week!

Thank you JEN CARMODY AND HOLLY DANCER for organizing the monthly birthday lunch! The students love to feel special on their birthdays with Mrs. Eder!

Thank you ELLEN DUNLAP, DIEM TOM, BECKY BACOGIANNIS and CATEY WHITE for chairing the 2024 Family Fun Fest! This is a huge undertaking, and an event Monroe loves so much! We can’t wait for this year's Fest and appreciate all you have done for it!

Thank you JAMIE YAMMINE AND BEA HARNOIS for curating and selling our Monroe spiritwear, supporting our school and showing school pride!

Thank you KRISTINA GLEESON, MIRA BONEVA-COLEMAN and NICOLE STAPLETON for being our 5th Grade Culmination team! This is a bittersweet time for 5th grade parents, and you have done a wonderful job celebrating our 5th graders as they move on to middle school! There were a large group of parents helping this team, an additional thanks to the DARE team of DENNIS COLEMAN AND CHAD WRIGLEY, pool party committee of JAMIE YAMMINE, JEN CARMODY and LESLEY DAWRAVOO and Greenery Sale team SARA CLARY AND MEGAN MADURI!

Thank you AMI MEHTA and MIRA BONEVA COLEMAN for editing this Mustang Minutes you are reading week in and week out! We would be lost without you sharing important school information every Sunday!

Partnering with fun businesses to raise money for our school, by either getting a fun dinner on the table, beautiful holiday cards or getting us tan for spring break, we appreciate you building important community relationships while raising money for our PTO!

Thank you COURTNEY HAARLOW for being the Enrichment point person! The PTO no longer coordinates enrichment, but Courtney did an amazing (and tough!) job advertising offerings and keeping parents informed!

Thank you JESSY CHOI YUN for organizing locker photos and photo days; keeping the kids lockers identifiable for staff and coordinating fabulous fall and spring picture days with Monroe staff!

Thank you ALIFYA KAGALWALLA for researching and booking some awesome assemblies this year for our students!

Book Fair Success

5/5/2024 8:52 am

Thank you for supporting the book fair. It was our largest Spring Book Fair since I've been your librarian. This is a great investment in your child's education, but most importantly, supporting their life long love of reading.
Thank you also for adding to the classroom libraries. The students are going to love reading these new titles.

Truly,
Mrs. Wodka
