Dear parents and families,
 
I want to wish all of our Moms, Grandmothers, and Mom-like caretakers,  a very happy and healthy Mothers’ day! I wish you all a very relaxing evening where you can revel in the wonderful (and really challenging) things that you do each and every day to support our kids.  Thank you for hanging in there when times are tough, especially times like these. We are so grateful for you and all that you!
 
We have 10 days left of our distance learning. Our staff and students are working through important standards as well as balancing online time that is  full of positives, uplifting for all, and connection building. See important information below for upcoming events and important dates. 
 
We are creating a plan for student material pick up and drop off (library books and borrowed teacher books) for the last week in May. More detailed information will come later this week from Tyler Trill, our Public Information Officer. 
 
The Bexley Thank You Challenge has been amazing each week! Here is the latest video of our students thanking our store workers and businesses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYr2_GiCpOI&feature=youtu.be
 
Stay healthy, Montrose!
Smiles and virtual hugs,
Melissa K-L
