From Doan's Desk....
Today we hosted an amazing Championship Pep Assembly. It was the perfect opportunity to honor some of our extraordinary activities that have achieved state and national-level accomplishments. The Monarch High School Marching Band, All-State Choir members, and the Journalism program were displayed in front of the entire student body. We are extremely proud of all of our academic, athletic, and activities success and it was fun to take a moment to highlight some of our very best.
The other major surprise was the chance to reveal our new mascot! Thanks to the generosity of the Monarch Booster Club, we were able to give the students an incredible new mascot suit that they can be proud to represent them at games and activities. Be on the lookout for the 9-foot-tall “Mighty Mo” out and about and representing Monarch.
Sko Yotes!

DONATE FORMAL WEAR FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We're launching a formal wear lending program to help students attend events that require formal wear without having to buy new clothing! To make this happen, we need your help!
Please consider donating gently used or new formal wear items—suits, dresses, dress shirts, dress pants, ties, shoes, and blazers. Your contributions will directly impact our students' ability to participate in memorable events and their overall success!
Please drop off your donations at the front office during school hours. We will be collecting donations throughout the rest of the year. Your support means the world to us. Please reach out to wamiles01@bvsd.org with any questions
Thank you,
Coyote Closet Team
