 The Wayne County Board of Education met Thursday, July 15^th, continuing to make plans for the construction of a new elementary building, with the help of federal COVID relief money.

Monticello's Summer Camp was held in conjunction with the 21st Century Summer Camp that has proven to help students maintain their knowledge base from school year to school year, rather than experiencing the 'summer slide'. Many students across the district participated in a unique summer school at their building to try and boost their grades forward, after having to deal without in-person learning for part of the past school year. The summer camp activities, as well as 21st Century Camp activities were in addition to catching up in their basic subject classes at Monticello Elementary for grades three, four and five.  

Fourth and fifth grade students conducted Science experiments from home and then sent in photos of their work to teachers. Thank you to the parents who worked with them to bring their experiments to a conclusion. Once in-person learning resumed the students were rewarded for their efforts in the virtual Science Fair.
