⚽ A huge shoutout to the Jonathan Alder Soccer Association! ⚽

We are so grateful for their generous donation of soccer goals for our students to use at recess! Our students are going to have so much fun kicking the ball around, practicing their skills, and enjoying some friendly competition with their friends. 🥅⚽

Thank you for thinking of Monroe Elementary and helping make recess even more fun for our students! We truly appreciate your support of our school and our students!

Monroe Elementary teachers were excited to welcome back our students today.

It was a "buggy" day at Monroe Elementary!

Our 3rd and 4th graders had a blast visiting The Ohio State University BUGmobile. Students got hands-on with live insects and learned all about the amazing world of entomology! 🐜🔬

Happy Administrative Assistant Day to the very best, Mrs. Vaughn! 🎉
Monroe Elementary is so lucky to have you supporting our students, staff, and families each and every day. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed—we appreciate you more than words can say! 💙

Monroe Elementary's 2nd grade students did an amazing job sharing what they have learned this year in music class. It was songs all about friendships last night at their music performance.

On March 27th, Monroe Elementary and our PTO welcomed two amazing authors, Marie Weller and Paula Vertikoff, creators of the Cranium Critters series. Our students participated in an engaging presentation focused on understanding their feelings and learning strategies to manage them.

☀️📚 Today was a perfect day for our kindergarten students! They enjoyed the warm weather while taking their reading time outside. There’s nothing better than fresh air, sunshine, and a good book! 🌿💛

Our kindergarten students had a blast today at the Air Force Museum today.
