Congratulations to the Serverus Robotics team for an outstanding performance this weekend at the local Macon League competition. The team competed in their second and third meet of the season along with 15 other middle Georgia teams. In meet 2, Serverus scored the highest single match point value of the day and finished 2nd place overall. They fought hard in meet 3, ending their day in 1st place! Way to go, Serverus! One more local meet is left to prepare for regional completion in January. | |

The Monroe County Schools Department of Instructional Student Support recently showed appreciation to the Transportation Department with a special biscuit breakfast. This gesture was a way to thank the dedicated team who ensures our students are transported safely and reliably each day.
Our bus drivers and transportation staff play an essential role in the success of our schools, often being the first and last point of contact for students each day. Their commitment to safety and service does not go unnoticed, and this breakfast was a heartfelt way to say "thank you" for all their hard work and dedication.
We are proud to recognize and celebrate the Transportation Department for their invaluable contributions to Monroe County Schools!
