With National School Bus Safety Week underway, it's a great time to celebrate the Transportation Department's coloring contest winners with a pizza party. Meridian 223's transportation department came to both Highland and Monroe Center to pick up students and bring them to the bus barn for a celebration. They enjoyed pizza, chips, and soda and had a great time visiting with the drivers and other special guests. They took a tour of the operation from the drivers' perspective and enjoyed their time with our incredible drivers. We will recognize these students at our November 4th school board meeting. Great job, students, and huge thanks to transportation for all you do for our students every day!

Congratulations to the newest inductees to the Wall of Fame here at Monroe Center Grade School. We had a big group this time, and we're excited that the wall is growing. Way to go on sharing your choices, character, and great habits with those around you. Thank you!

Mr. Potato Head visited Mrs. Green's class in art the other day and shared how excited he was that they met their quarterly attendance goals. He shared a little treat and had some fun with the students at the same time. Way to go, 4G! Excellent work.

Nothing is better than walking into a classroom and seeing one student help another in a moment of need. Seamlessly working together as a lesson continued.. It's amazing to see that leadership and kindness in Mrs. Stevens' and Mrs. Keyster's room at Monroe Center.

Thank you to all of the students at Monroe Center who have contributed to our 50,000 student artwork postings. We love that our students have an opportunity to post their artwork and create a published art show. Thank you to all of our parents who have visited the site over the years, as well as friends and family. Mrs. Huhn brought this to us back in 2019 and has done a wonderful job helping students learn the importance of deciding what they publish and the work that goes on behind the scenes to create the artwork.

Enjoyed learning alongside their students in math this past week. Students in Mrs. Lagerhausen's 5th-grade classroom invited their parents to come in and do math with them. Everyone learned together how to use ratio tables, and students compared answers with their parents using whiteboards and great conversations. Thank you to those able to come.
