MONROE — The School District of Monroe is proud to announce a generous 10-year sponsorship agreement with the Mosher family that will support a dedicated therapy room at the new Monroe High School.
Through this partnership, the therapy room will be named in honor of Jo Ellen Mosher, a retired occupational therapist who served the School District of Monroe for 36 years. Mosher’s dedication to students and colleagues helped shape the culture of the district’s therapy department and left a lasting impact on the Monroe school community.
During her career, Mosher worked closely with students to help them overcome challenges and develop the skills needed to succeed both in school and in daily life. Her compassion, expertise, and commitment to student well-being made her a trusted advocate for students and families across the district.
In addition to her work with students, Mosher was known as a mentor to many educators and specialists. Numerous colleagues credit her guidance and leadership as a meaningful influence on their professional growth.
“This sponsorship is a wonderful tribute to Jo Ellen’s legacy,” said Joe Monroe, Superintendent of the School District of Monroe. “For more than three decades, Jo Ellen dedicated her career to supporting students and helping them reach their full potential. Naming the therapy room in her honor ensures that her impact will continue to be felt by future generations of students.”
The Mosher family’s sponsorship will provide $10,000 in support over a 10-year period, reinforcing the district’s commitment to providing high-quality support services for students at the new Monroe High School.
The therapy room will serve as an important resource within the new high school, offering a dedicated space where students can receive specialized support that helps them succeed academically, socially, and physically.
The School District of Monroe extends its sincere appreciation to the Mosher family for their generosity and for honoring the legacy of a professional who made such a profound difference in the lives of Monroe students.
