As an added bonus, sales of the Monarch Mondays shirts help the PSO continue programming and fund outdoor recess improvements at the school. Order one for the whole family to support the PSO!
We'd also like to see our online learners participate in this special school spirit event every Monday! Be on the lookout for Monarch Mondays photo contests coming soon. If you have questions about ordering your shirt, please contact Kelley Ann Ward.
