The PTO is having a fundraiser on December 13, 2023 at the Milwaukee Mod Pizza Location!

Bring in this flyer, or order online through the MOD app or website using the provided coupon and MOD will donate 20% of your bill to support this great school!

Are you providing care for a child that is your relative? This could be a grandchild, sibling that is still a child, niece, or nephew. We would love for you to join us for an evening of connection and to learn more about resources for your family in our community. This workshop will be held at Monroe Elementary on December 14th from 5:30-7pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided. Please register here or call Sara Nord at 208-559-3107.
