Monroe is very fortunate to have a generous and charitable former student! Rory Keehn contacted Mr. Driscoll last spring to discuss ways he could help the current students of Monroe through monetary donations. He and Mr. Driscoll decided that financial contributions would be sent to the Dad’s Club every month to assist with various projects that help kids. As of now, Mr. Keehn is funding the maintenance of donated band instruments and his fund
will assist in sending all of the students of
