FCLA Meeting
Announcements
- Juniors: Meet in the auditorium during meeting time today (8:54 am)
- It’s that time of year Class of 2027! The Yearbook Staff need your senior photo and baby photo. Please email them to emily.marjoua@monticello.k12.ia.us or bring the photos to the office or Art room ASAP. If you haven’t gotten your senior photos taken yet, set your appointment now. A free option is to use the Halverson’s school picture day or picture retake day. Failure to use Halverson’s or submit a senior photo to Mrs. Marjoua BEFORE WINTER BREAK will result in the use of your junior year school photo :/
2026 Yearbooks are still available in the front office for purchase!! There are a limited number of copies left for purchase – so dust off 80 bucks and get one before they’re gone.
- Your Panther Positive tickets will expire on October 26th! Check out your Google Classroom for the form to redeem your tickets. After October 26th the tickets will be a new color.
