Royal Readers is one of the 14 charitable services rendered by JA of Monticello where every child in grades K-3 are given a book.

One of several of JA’s donors, All Occasions Flowers and Gifts, helping make service projects possible.

This week JA of Monticello is celebrating National Junior Auxiliary Week and would like to take a moment to thank Drew County, corporate sponsors, and local businesses for their support and contributions throughout the year that go toward funding service projects that help better the lives of the children of Drew County.

The National Junior Auxiliary slogan is “Care Today-Character Tomorrow”, and Junior Auxiliary of Monticello truly appreciates everything that’s done to help them hold true to that slogan.

The UAM College of Technology-McGehee will award certificates of proficiency and technical certificates this summer to the first graduates of the school’s Diesel Training Academy located south of Monticello on U.S. Highway 425.
