PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
In my three years here at Montair, I have been continuously impressed with the generosity of this community. Parents volunteer their time in our classrooms and fundraise to support valuable programs. But that generosity does not stop at our doors. We have had students and parents participate in Pledge to Humanity events like making sandwiches and blankets for local shelters. We have collected food for the Contra Costa Food Bank. This year, we also supported our sister school with our toy drive. This week we are planning another family service event with Montair Gives Back. Plan on attending along with your kiddos and work together to make a difference in the lives of others. We are also collecting books for our sister school. We will be donating these books in April.

I am inspired to be part of this generous community and look forward to continuing our work together!

On another note, please plan on coming to the book fair this week. On Thursday evening, the book fair will be open to allow for families to shop together. I will be there to read to the littles at 5:30 while parents shop. I hope to see you there.

Here’s to a great week of learning together!

Principal
The Montair Spring Book Fair kicks off today Monday, March 18th and runs through Friday, March 22nd.  

We are looking for some lovely parent volunteers to help us with checkouts, assisting the kids with their shopping, bagging books etc. It is a super fun event and the kids absolutely love it. As always, your help is very much appreciated. We truly can't do it without you.

Hope to see you there!

Shop the Book Fair in the evening on Thursday, 3/21 from 5-6:30! 
Mrs. Tricaso will read to the students at 5:30!
SISTER SCHOOL BOOK DRIVE
NOW-29TH
We are collecting NEW books for the students of Mission Elementary, and there is no easier way to donate then at our book fair! There will be a blue bin in the library this week in case you’d like to buy a book to give to our sister school. Picture books, chapter books, hard cover, soft cover, any book that would be loved by an elementary school student. Donations can also be placed in the blue bin by the office. Thank you for sharing Montair’s love of reading with our sister school!
