"Ms. Monte, thank you for going above and beyond for your students and staff every single day," she shares. "You are so committed to making PCE a safe, positive learning environment, and it shows!

I see you at the SAC and PTA meetings. I see you helping the teachers to make sure they have everything they need. I see you taking the time to talk to your students and their parents.
