In addition to donating clothing and hygiene supplies to the school, employees helped clean up the outdoor picnic area and lunch benches, assisted with book coding in the school library, organized donated clothing, cleaned and replanted shrubbery around the school courtyard and, during lunchtime, helped the children make Halloween masks and gave out gift bags of snacks and flashlights to each student. Monarch has many volunteer opportunities available for interested community groups. For more information, visit www.monarchschools.org. Courtesy photo
