Kids Heart Challenge has officially kicked off, and we hope you will join us as we work to “Be the Torch” in the fight against heart disease and stroke. We will guide the way to heart health by funding research and engaging kids so they grow into young adults with healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
You can get started now by registering your student at: http://www2.heart.org/goto/MonroeElementary and beginning Finn’s Mission! The goal of Finn’s Mission is to help kids with special hearts and have 1.8 million families around the country learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. Why 1.8 million as a goal? Because Finn has had 18 procedures.

Week Of Love and Kindness
Our school will be participating in a week of love and kindness from Monday, February 12- Friday, February 16th! Ask your students about all of the amazing ways they are showing love and kindness as well as receiving acts of love and kindness! See below for the spirit week schedule!
Classroom Valentine's Parties
Classroom Valentine's Parties will be Wednesday, February 14th from 2:30pm- 3:30pm. Students should bring Valentine's cards to share with their class but please DO NOT bring any food items including candy to hand out at the party or with the cards. Any food brought to school will not be allowed to be served or given to students. Trinkets like stickers, stamps, pencils, erasers, playdough, etc make excellent candy replacements. We have to be sensitive to allergies and our agreement with our district food provider, Chartwells. Parents attending the party should check in at the office and refrain from parking in the lot where we load car riders at the end of the day. As much as we love all of our Mustang families, please do not bring siblings, friends, or family members who do not attend Monroe. This will be our last party of the school year and we can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
Room parents, please work with your classroom teacher and room parent team to plan these parties. Ideas and resources will be shared at the PTO meeting Thursday!
If you plan to come to the class party, please email smcintyre@stcharlessd.org or jemace@stcharlessd.org before the 14th with your full name so they can have your visitor sticker printed.
