The Monroe preschool students had a fun day painting and learning all about pumpkins! 🎨 A special thank you to our wonderful Preschool Paraprofessional, Mrs. Thiergatner, who grew the pumpkins at her family farm. The students loved getting creative and painting their very own pumpkins!

📚 Fourth graders teamed up with first graders to read and illustrate books written by our high school students! What an amazing cross-grade collaboration! 💛

⚽ A BIG thank you to Sean Bichsel! He volunteered his time today to teach our students some soccer skills during recess. The kids had a blast—thank you for making recess extra fun! 👏

Let's start the weekend strong! Drop off non-perishable items at school or the Plain City Municipal Building. Join us in supporting our local community!

It’s time for the Battle of the Cans! 🥫
Jonathan Alder is competing against the London School District to collect the most non-perishable food items. All donations go to our local food pantry.

Send items in with your Monroe student this week and help us bring home the win! 🏆
The winning district will be announced at the Alder vs. London football game Friday night.

Go Pioneers! ❤️🖤

Our Monroe kindergarteners ended their fairy tale unit with a magical afternoon of stations and a grand finale Tortoise and the Hare race. And once again…the Tortoise takes the win! 🐢🏆

Do you know anyone who would be interested in teaching the game of soccer at recess?
