It’s Monday in Monticello — time for Superintendent Matt Evans’ weekly update to the Monticello community. In this episode, an interview with George L. Cooke Elementary School Nature Ambassador Anna Mollema about how the program empowers our students, deepens their connections with nature and puts our school in the running for a $75,000 grant from the Sullivan 180 Empowering a Healthier Generation program. Also — a reminder that there is no school for students on Friday, Feb. 14, and the district will be closed on Monday, Feb. 17 in recognition of Presidents Day.
