Week of January 20
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Hello Monarch Families,
I am writing this month about our desperate need for volunteers to help run our Fun Run, Talent Show, and Monarch Nights. Without volunteers these events may end up being cancelled. Here are the details:
~~Fun Run Team- Volunteers Needed ASAP: The Annual MRES Fun Run is coming up Wednesday, March 11. Lisa Herndon has run this event for years and needs to train a new team, since it is her last year at MRES. Please let me know if you can help out on the team!
~~Talent Show Team- Volunteers Needed ASAP: The Talent Show is scheduled for 3/12 & 3/13, but it needs a dedicated team to lead it. If we don't find a solid team of at least 5 individuals to lead this event, it might not happen. If you'd like to have the talent show, please contact me and let's form the team!!
~~Monarch Nights Team- Volunteers Needed ASAP:Monarch Nights is the evening parent night out Fundraiser for the Foundation that's so much fun! This team could use some support, so if you like planning events and want this event to happen, please contact me to join the team!
Contact Info: Louise at: mptfpresident@gmail.com or Katie at: mptfvol@gmail.com

Please bring your student’s fully completed science fair project to the MPR before or after school on Monday, February 3. All projects must be received by 4:30pm.
