Monroe Elementary
Principal Update: Early Dismissal Days This Thursday and Friday
Greetings James Monroe,
This is principal McNeil.
This is a long update as there are many announcements and lots of information!
Thank you so much to all the students, families, and staff who came out to celebrate at our Black History Program. It was awesome to see everyone come together to celebrate and enjoy. The food was amazing and the program was so fantastic. Special thanks to Ms. Lau and her Second Graders, Ms. Bendu Griffin for her story and all the coordination, and the Diamono Coura West African Dance Company for an amazing and interactive performance! What a wonderful evening!
