Hello Monterey Park Families, Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year from all the staff at Monterey Park. We cannot believe we are at the end of 2024 already! We are enjoying Holiday Spirit Week as the Winter Break fast approaches. It was wonderful to see many students and staff dressed in traditional clothing from home countries yesterday. They were proud to share stories of their family’s origins and show a part of their culture. Be sure to check the information below as there is a special theme each day this week. We hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing Winter Break full of quality time with family and friends. We will see you in January! If you have any questions, please reach out.
