Glimpses of MCS from
Mrs. Obbink
Top Ten Reasons to Attend Monroe Christian School, Written by the 4th graders:

10. We learn how to make goals, reach goals and celebrate. At our school, if you read 20 minutes every day and make your goal of 1,100 minutes per trimester, we celebrate with games, free time, electronics, and sometimes candy!

9. We get to go on amazing field trips like Iron Goat Trail, The Narnia Play, and Padilla Bay.

8. We have Chapel every Friday. The music is great and we worship by singing to the Lord.

7. There are many cool things at MCS including sports like cheer, basketball, soccer, and track. It is so fun. You get to exercise with and play with your friends.

6. You will learn Math, Science, Grammar, Writing and have Bible every day.

5. You won't get bullied at MCS because the students are very kind.
There are friends who help you when you need it.

4. Parents bring us to school. They work hard to pay for school. The parents serve us popcorn, juice, and pizza.

3. The teachers here are really nice and make you feel at home. If you have a problem, they will help you solve it. If you are nervous, they will comfort you. You will be encouraged! (They say, "You can do it!")

2. You will learn about God and His ways. His perfect and pleasing ways.

1. You will learn about God, His son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

CHAPEL FRIDAY
Greetings MCS parents, my name is Alysia. My eighth grade class would like to invite you to a special chapel on Friday, March 24, at 8:30 a.m. This year God has been challenging us to become world changers! Out of this we believe that God has called us to launch a campaign that encourages personal generosity; we call it PGMTT, Please Give Mine to Them . We believe that PGMTT can empower your child to personally make a difference in God's world. To learn more, check out our attached flyer; you can also visit the YouTube channel or website we are constructing. If you can't come to chapel, we hope your child will share these ideas with you. So, please come. Worship with us, celebrate what God is doing here at MCS; help us become culture-makers and world-changers!
 
Note: This chapel will also include Honor Roll recognition for the second trimester, grades 4-8.

MEDIA DISCLAIMER
Parents, please review our social media pages and website often. Let us know if there are any photos you would like us to remove.  We do our best to adhere to the few privacy requests that we have, but as our enrollment and media presence grow, and we ask for participation by parents, it becomes difficult to check each photo. We never post names of students unless a parent requests us to do so in relation to a post. Any requests for removal of photos will be addressed immediately. We thank you for participating and sending in your awesome pictures. Please keep them coming!
