MONROE - The Monroe school district was recently named the top school in the "Million Pound Challenge" for kindergarten through 12th grade in the state and was awarded a first place plaque honoring the top school. For every reported exercise hour 10 pounds of food, up to 1 million, is donated to the designated hunger-relief organization, Green County Food Pantry Inc. Both students and staff participated in this community project through physical education classes and a staff wellness initiative.
