What You Can Do For the MCR-1 Education Foundation?
Join Us!
MCR-1 Education Foundation is always looking for new sponsors and partners who care about the well-being of the Monroe City School System and have suggestions for new ways to support our teachers.
Your assistance with committee work would be welcomed. If you are interested in serving on the Foundation Board, contact one of the current Board members.
You may help by providing financial support through Individual contributions and gifts. Consider memorials to MCR-1 Education Foundation following the death of those who were interested in the well-being of Monroe City Schools during their lifetime. A small bequest in a will might make a major impact on a classroom of students.
We welcome your ideas and input regarding educational programs that we should support or projects that might improve our school.
