Grandparents and special friends are truly out of this world! 🚀✨

Before school on Friday, Sept. 11th, Monroe Elementary welcomed its favorite VIPs for delicious donuts, drinks, and hands-on, space-themed STEM activities. Seeing generations connect over science and sweet treats reminds us how wonderful our school community truly is.

Thank you to all the grand-explorers who launched into learning with us today!
