Students at Custer Elementary School and members of the Custer community will "Lace Them up for Chase," this Saturday, November 7, to benefit Custer fifth grader Chase who suffers from a rare blood disease. To help raise money to support Chase and his treatment and recovery, all participants will register at 11 a.m. to either walk or run on the paved Custer track from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. this Saturday. Over the last two weeks, Custer students have been collecting donations to help support the cause. Raffle prizes also will be drawn for Custer students. "Be The Match" will be at the event providing information and registering adults to be on the bone marrow registry. In addition, the Monroe County Chapter, American Red Cross, will sign up adults to participate in Custer's December blood drive. Last May, Chase was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, which causes a deficiency in all blood types which leads to failure of bone marrow development. A rare disease, less than 1,000 news cases are diagnosed each year. Chase requires frequent blood and platelet transfusions at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, and his blood level is monitored weekly. He will require a bone marrow transplant to cure this condition, and a donor has been located. Persons with questions should contact Custer school teacher Teresa Stewart at 734-265-4313.

Congratulations to Monroe High School graduate Jonathon Brown who has been elected president of his 1,100-member Class of 2019 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT.)  He will serve during his freshman year with the next election scheduled for April 2016 for his class’ sophomore year.  Jonathon said that he had a number of leadership roles while at Monroe High School but this is the first time he has been elected class president.  Jonathon was a summa cum laude graduate and a senior scholar as a member of the MHS Class of 2015.  With scholarship offers from eight major universities, he was one of the most sought-after MHS grads in the history of the school.  During his years at MHS, he was a member of the student council, National Honor Society president, Upward Bound Student of the Year and captain of the wrestling team.  At MIT, he is studying mathematics and astrophysics.  Best wishes…Mr. President.  

There will be no school for Monroe Public Schools students this Friday, October 30, so our staff can participate in the county-wide in-service day.  In addition, there will be no Kid’s Club at Riverside or Custer on Friday and there will be no Rainbow Pre-School on Friday either.  Once again – no school Friday for Monroe Public Schools students, no kid’s club and no Rainbow Preschool. 

Happy Hump Daaaaaaaay!  Here is our newscast for Wednesday.  Thank you to the hard working 5th grade WRAZ students for helping out our 6th grade students.
