The students gave a concert for Veterans Day.  Veterans in the crowd were recognized for their contributions.  All in all a moving tribute to the men and women who served our country and protected our freedoms.

Our CCSAR participants estimated there were hundreds of people participating in this years event.

They met with Melissa Costello who will be our teacher for the year from the Monroe Elementary S8chool!

Lots of fun was had by all!

The Monroe school system is incredibly impressive. The school especially has a wonderful spirit. It was a privilege to be there.
