🎲 It was a full house this morning at Montclair Elementary for Dads Take Your Child to School Day! Our theme, Dads and Dice, was a huge hit. It was so much fun seeing all our Montclair families playing math probability games together.
A huge thank you to our amazing Title I team and all the staff members who helped make this event so memorable and meaningful. The Montclair family truly shined today!
Fathers are so critically important to a scholar's success, and events like this are a great reminder of the impact they have. Thanks to all the dads who came out to play and connect with their children before class!

We want to thank Walmart for donating 3 pallets of school supplies to our school today. Mrs. Cannegieter made the arrangements with the Mandarin store for this amazing support to our school and our scholars. It was an awesome display of teamwork as our Title 1 teachers, custodians, and assistant principal unloaded two truckloads. It was a great day at Montclair!

Our amazing new kindergarten scholars collaborated to construct their own “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Trees” using a variety of construction tools. Many essential standards were met while scholars created the trees adding popsicle stick leaves and alphabet letters. Everyone had so much fun with this STREAM challenge!
