Bike Rodeo - Thank you!

9/8/2023 1:06 pm

Thanks to all the students and families who attended the Bike Rodeo this week! It was educational and fun for our students to learn safety and responsibility while riding their bikes to and from school.

Thanks to Corie Werich and the Bike Rodeo team for working so hard to chair the event, and the Hinsdale Police Department for their supervision and expertise!

If you missed the Bike Rodeo, you can always bring your bike to the Hinsdale PD to get it registered in their system. Be safe, Mustangs!

Thank You for Helping Kick Off Our Fundraising Year!

We'd like to thank everyone who attended our Backyard Bash this past weekend. It was a fun event with a lot of old college-day shenanigans!

We'd also like to give a special shout out to our host families: Blasko, Erwin, Haarlow, Kunitz, Martin, Massouras, Reko, Schieber, Thorpe, and Wright. This event raised over $4,000 for Monroe School! We appreciate everyone's support in getting our fundraising year off to a great start!

Stay tuned for more details about upcoming fundraising opportunities, like hosting a student or parent party as well as our raffle for various school experiences, like Halloween line leaders, PE teacher for the day, and riding to school in a police car!
