MT. MONARCH UPDATES: 

*Effectively immediately, reservations must be paid via PayPal (info and link are accessible on the Mt. Monarch Sign Up Genius page). 

**Please be courteous- if you have reserved a date and decide not to paint, please cancel that date so others may have the opportunity to join in the fun of painting Mt. Monarch.

***If you elect not to paint the rock and do not cancel your reservation prior to the reserved date, you are still responsible for that payment.

 

Recycle for Related Arts

After Monarch parents and the community generously donated aluminum soda cans for the Roper Mountain Festival of Lights Holiday Card (we won SECOND PLACE!), Mrs. Kish thought it would be a great idea to continue recycling aluminum cans here at the school to support Monarch's environmental efforts.  In the school's front parking lot, you will see a red, recycle trailer that BSC Metal Recycling has set up for the school.  BSC has partnered with us so profits from the aluminum cans can go back to Monarch's Related Arts Program, allowing Physical Education, Music, Art, and Library to have additional funds to purchase new and engaging classroom resources.  BSC has requested that we only recycle aluminum soda cans.  If any other cans or products besides aluminum soda cans are placed in the trailer, Monarch's profit will be penalized.  Cans can be thrown in the trailer at any time.  Based on the amount of cans we received for the holiday card, we know our school's recycling efforts will be a success!  It's such a great way to show our students how to not only  help protect our environment, but also support Monarch's Related Arts Program.

Thank you,
The Related Arts Team
