Monroe Messenger

Dear Monroe Families,

As we approach the 4th of July holiday, I want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a joyful, safe, and restful celebration. I hope the long weekend brings time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the special moments that summer has to offer.

This week marks my first as principal of Monroe Elementary, and I could not be more honored or excited to join this incredible community. Monroe has a long-standing tradition of excellence, and I am deeply committed to honoring the strong foundation that has been built here while also looking ahead to the future with a spirit of growth, collaboration, and continued success.

As we begin this journey together, I would love to hear from you, our families, about your hopes and dreams for the future of Monroe. Your insight, experiences, and aspirations are invaluable as we work together to ensure every student feels a strong sense of belonging and reaches their goals. Please email me at mmeyer1@isd77.org to set up a call or meeting! I would love to hear from you.

Here’s to a wonderful start, a strong partnership, and an exciting road ahead!

With gratitude and excitement,

Mollie Meyer
Principal, Monroe Elementary
