Monticello Live

The staff at Monticello Elementary School are excited about the 2019-2020 school year. We are looking forward to the opportunity of having a positive impact on the lives of the community, parents and children of the Monticello School District.

Beginning on July 24th, parents can come to the MES office and pick up the required information packet to be filled out and returned to their teacher at Open House.

OPEN HOUSE

Open House will be Monday, August 5 from 5:00-6:30 pm for all Kindergarten through Second Grade students/parents. During this time you will meet your child’s teacher and other staff. Please bring the required information packet that you picked up early from MES to Open House and give to the teacher.

The MMS EAST program represented Billie Nation at the 2019 National EAST Conference March 12th-14th.  A team consisting of Kat Claycomb, Caden Fitzgerald,  Addie Montgomery, Alivia Ramsey,  Kaleb Romero, Hope Sass, Chesney Smith,  and Brinkley Taylor presented seven of the many projects students have been working on this year.

The projects included the MMS Student Emergency Response Team (SERT); the Bille Dyslexia Reader; the Alzheimer’s Memories of Love Project; the Jordan Park Lighting Project; the MMS Clothing, Hygiene, School Supply Closet; the Waste Reduction and Recycling Project; and the MHS Fishing Team.  The students were well rehearsed and polished as they presented to the public and judges.  If you would like to know more about these projects and/or our MMS EAST Program, please contact EAST Facilitator Shawn Curtis at 367-4040 / 367-4043.

Congratulations to the members of the Monticello High School Billie Band for their achievement last night in El Dorado at the Region III Concert Assessment. The band received all superior ratings on stage and superior performance in sightreading. This score, combined with a superior rating in marching assessment, awards them with their TENTH CONSECUTIVE SWEEPSTAKES. A sweepstakes is the highest honor a school band in Arkansas can receive.  

The Seark Co-op Jr/Sr Chess tournament yielded two winners for Monticello. Matilda Henris (7th grade) placed 2nd, and Hayden Turner (9th grade) took 1st. Both are Gifted & Talented students.

Congratulations to Monticello High School Quiz Bowl. We finished 1st place undefeated in the 4A Regional Tournament. They worked so hard and are very deserving. We’re going to STATE!!!  And Congrats to Lucas Babst who won MVP. He answered over 90 questions correctly!!!
