From the Principal
Dear Parents,
Can you believe we are already into December? Seems like just yesterday, I was leading the Halloween Parade around the school, and today we were playing in the snowflakes.
Students have been actively engaged in many different learning experiences both within the classroom and outside as well. I have witnessed our kindergartners use their knowledge of letter formation to begin their journey towards reading and writing. I have seen our 6th graders use their math skills to work through geometry and algebra problems. Growth is happening all around us. Soon all of the students will begin their lessons in Coding in the Media Center, and our band students will be playing holiday songs around the building.
Our students are also showing their caring side as well. Our Friends of Foster Kids Holiday Drive is currently underway, and we are collecting donations. The students at Monfort are working to spread the joy of giving to local students that are currently in the foster care system. Our Goodness Gorillas are collecting unwrapped donations until Wednesday December 11th.
I continue to enjoy visiting classrooms and watching students work collaboratively and confidently and grow into the amazing leaders of tomorrow.
I hope that all of you find a little time between school activities and extra curricular activities this holiday season to get out and enjoy all the splendor that this season has to bring. As always, thanks for being so supportive of the Monfort community.
Happy Holidays
Mr. LaPorte
