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

One Book, One School is here!

3/4/2025 11:19 am

Drum roll please… and our novel this year is: Fish in a Tree by Lynda Hunt! This is an uplifting story about celebrating success and individually in all its forms! 

Your youngest Monroe student received a copy of the book last Thursday, February 28th. Included was the reading schedule and parent letter too.

Did you know? There is a ton of research and data showing that families simply reading together builds language skills, better learning, and relational health. - American Academy of Pediatrics and Dipesh Navsaria, MPH, MSLIS, MD, FAAP

Discussion question this week: Did you have a “silver dollar or wooden nickel” kind of day?

Can’t wait to continue reading together next week!
