Read-A-Thon, Disability Awareness Week, Picture Retakes, Take Out Tuesday, Fall Break

Thank You for Supporting Our Fall Mum Fundraiser!
A huge thank-you to all our St. Monica families who supported this year’s Fall Mum Fundraiser! Thanks to your generosity, funds raised will go toward improvements and maintenance of our Giving Garden. We recently received a fresh mulch delivery, and raised beds are in the works—exciting updates that will help our students continue to learn and grow through hands-on gardening.
Special congratulations to Santiago Gonzalez Bueno, our top individual seller, and to Mrs. McShea’s Kindergarten class, the top-selling homeroom! Your efforts truly help our garden—and our community—bloom!
Read-a-thon starts Monday
Step 1: Register your child's account
Step 2: Share their personalized fundraising link with family and friends to reach the fundraising goal - $30/student ($10,000 school-wide)
Step 3: Read and log minutes read - for every appropriate level book completed the student will put their name on a book's spine in the school cafeteria
Step 4: Every homeroom that meets both its fundraising AND reading goals will become an entry for that homeroom teacher to participate in an "inflatables" race for a school-wide event like no other!
