Poll Results are In!
Thank you to the 158 people who responded to the PSO's Events Poll, which closed last Wednesday, June 30th. We're excited to share the results with you.
|
|
|
As you review the results, please keep in mind that not all questions pertained to all families. For example, a family without middle schoolers likely didn't vote for middle school dances, and likewise a family without daughters probably didn't vote for the Father/Daughter Dance. As we interpret the results, we understand that not all questions fit all families.
Nevertheless, there were some clear favorites in the poll. Monarch Mondays was a resounding hit! And our families miss the Spring Festival and family-friendly Christmas events, and are interested in outdoor movie nights, restaurant nights to benefit the school, a Halloween event and casual parent socials. We also got some great suggestions in the write in section of the poll - thank you for sharing your creative ideas. We will keep you posted as we continue to work with the school administration to plan events for next school year and beyond, but we're happy to share now that Monarch Mondays is coming back next school year!

Monarch Mondays 2021-2022
The kids and parents both loved it, so Monarch Mondays is back for the 2021-2022 school year! In case you missed it last year, students and teachers got to wear special Monarch Mondays t-shirts or hoodies to school with the bottoms of their choice EVERY MONDAY in the 3rd and 4th quarters, like a special themed dress-down day. Family and business sponsors had their names or logos printed on the back of the shirts, similar to a 5K race shirt.
Because it was so popular, this year Monarch Mondays will be extended to run in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters! We're working on a cool new design, which will be revealed soon! Be on the lookout for sponsorship opportunities to open on Wednesday, August 18th as we return to school, and for the link to order the shirts to open in October. Will your family or business name be on the shirt this year? All sponsors get free shirts!
