From the Principal

HAPPY FALL!!!

Dear Parents,

 

Can you believe we are already into October? Everybody here at Monfort has been so busy that the month of September just seemed to fly by. I want to tank all of you who attended our Curriculum Night, as well as our Welcome Back Knight. Both events were a HUGE success.

 

Students have been actively engaged in many different learning experiences already. Opportunities that have included reviewing the knowledge they already possess, setting goals for success, and establishing expectations for the year. Now they are focused on becoming life-long leaders and learners.

 

I have enjoyed visiting classrooms and watching students work collaboratively and confidently. I am truly excited to be in an era that focuses on every child’s individual growth and success, and I know that parents and teachers can have a profound positive effect on the lives of our children. Together, great things can happen!

 

I hope that all of you find a little time between school activities and extra curricular activities this fall to get out and enjoy all the splendor that fall has to bring. As always, thanks for being so supportive of the Monfort community.

Mr. LaPorte
