November 8, 2020 Dear families, Throughout the next two months, we will take time to share appreciation and thankfulness for our community and those around us. We want to ensure our students are engaged in ways to care for others by showing empathy and care for themselves and others. We frequently reference our Bexley Learner's Profile. Currently, students in grades 2-5 are writing and drawing letters and notes of appreciation for their Chromebooks from the Bexley Education Foundation (BEF). A special thanks to Mr. Strait for guiding our Safety Patrol in their training this week and for our Safety Patrol who ensure the safety of our traveling Moose.
Have a wonderful week, Montrose! Warm regards,Melissa K-L Melissa Klosterman-LandoPrincipal at Montrose ElementaryMontrose Elementary website
