TEACHING POSITIONS AVAILABLE

Monroe Christian School will have several teaching positions open for the 2022-2023 school year. We are adding an additional 2nd grade and 5th grade classroom and teachers, due to an increased student growth. We also anticipate that two of our beloved educators will be moving out of the area. Due to a recent resignation, we are also in search of a middle school teacher to join Mrs. Waltman and Mrs. Moses.

If you are interested, please complete the attached Application for Employment. Upon completion of the application, please submit the application form along with your resume to elaine.obbink@monroechristian.org.
MCS APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES

T-shirt weather is here! Use this link MCS Apparel and Accessories to check out all the great MCS t-shirts and other items that are available. Find something you like, place your order, and it will be sent directly to you. It's an easy way to get ready for warmer weather and support the school.
RECESS DUTY

If you have some free time and would like to volunteer, recess duty is great way to help.
  • The purpose of Recess Duty is to keep our children safe while they are enjoying fresh air and getting some exercise.
  • Another benefit is that this allows teachers much-needed time to regroup and prepare for the next classroom session of the day.
  • You will earn DOUBLE volunteer service hours when you help with recess duty!
The following link will allow you to sign up for recess duty on any of the available day(s)/time(s). Please feel free to sign up for any times that you can commit to volunteering.
MOMS IN PRAYER

The Moms in Prayer group provides a good way for moms to connect with other moms, support each other, and most importantly pray together.

Moms in Prayer meet Mondays at 9am across from the school at New Hope Fellowship Church.
Tentative scheduled meetings are every 1st, 3rd and 5th Monday except holidays. See our tentative schedule below.
This is a very open and welcoming group. Feel free to share as much or as little as you would like, ask for prayers, or simply sit with us to enjoy the love and support of other moms in the same stage of life.

We understand schedule constraints so please feel free to come when you are able.
We look forward to meeting you and praying with you!

The Moms in Prayer tentative schedule:
April 4th
May 2nd and 16th
June 6th
