Jeff Creighton from Channel 12 News spends the afternoon  with Monroe 4th graders to share with them all about weather and meteorology.

Are you Hungry? How does LaRosa’s, Subway or Olive Garden sound? Let the members of the Monroe Junior High and Senior High Band help you out. From February 1st to the 13th, the band members in grades 7-12 will be selling LaRosa’s and Subway Peeler cards. The cards cost $10 each, are good until February 2009 and are a great savings.

Monroe elementary students will be involved in a service project each month this year to help promote community service.

During December, students will be collecting food items for Monroe families in need.

“Gifts from the Heart” Food Drive is an annual event that is in its 6th year. Last year, we collected enough food for 45 families. Over 214 people benefited from this project. The elementary alone collected 1,927 items. The Jr. High and High School collected over $900.00 to purchase food gift cards and the tubs to hold the food.

Congratulations to the following elementary students on their outstanding achievements. Honor Roll is 3.5-4.0 GPA, Merit Roll is 3.0-3.49.
