Stock the Staff Lounge

9/21/2024 1:42 pm

Stock the Monroe Lounge is back. Who doesn't love a snack in the early afternoon? This Sign Up is for parents who'd like to donate items to the teacher/staff lounge. It's a great way to say Thank You to our teachers throughout the year!

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0845AEAD29A4FC1-51346373-2425#/

How it works-
Each grade is responsible for a month to stock the lounge. Simply find your month and select items to bring to school on the designated date. Room parents will also be sending direct emails to you when it's your month. If the month for your grade doesn't work for you, feel free to select a different month.

October-Grade 5
November- Grade 4
December-Grade 3
January-Grade 2
February-Grade 1
March-Kindergarten
April-All

Thank you so much! Any questions please email Staffappreciation@monroeschoolpto.com

Book Donation Andrea's Angels

9/15/2024 7:06 am

Earn free books with Andrea's Angels: The Andrea's Angels program is a new & gently-used, year-round book drive named in loving memory of a local student who volunteered for children's literacy programs.

Since 1999, Anderson's Bookshop has been helping to continue the spirit of Andrea's work and love of books. By coordinating the collection & redistribution of over 1,000,000 books, the Andrea's Angels program has been able to place books with children who have never known the joy of owning their own book. For each book donated, students will receive a raffle ticket to be entered into our drawing for $10 off at the book fair. 20 prizes will be awarded.

You can drop your books off in the Monroe School foyer beginning September 16th - 20th. Names will be drawn at the end of day September 20th.
