The Head Start program is a great day just for our new grade 9s. The students will have the opportunity to meet their new peers and our Student Ambassadors of Monarch (SAMs) while participating in various planned activities throughout the day. Students will need to sign-up for the day. An email will be sent to families with more information. You may still sign up by emailing the guidance secretary at yvonne.mascioli@tdsb.on.ca

Monarch Eats is a mostly student run group that makes sure that the students at Monarch Park have healthy foods available to them every morning and at lunch. Students can also plan ahead and grab an extra snack in the morning in the main lobby to get them to lunch and repeat at lunch when needed from the Monarch Eats area by the library.
This program is expensive! We are fortunate to have grants from TFSS (Toronto Federation for Student Success) and from PC Charities but it's not enough to support the amount of food our students are consuming.
If you are able to support our program, please donate through:
