School foundation tailgate coming up

The 21st annual Monticello School Foundation Tailgate Party & Alumni Reunion will take place next month. 

The event is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 7 in the Berndes Center, 766 N. Maple St. in Monticello. 

The event is one of the foundation’s largest fundraisers, and tickets are now available. School teachers and staff pay $15 per ticket, and tickets for the general public are $30 apiece. 

Tickets can be purchased at any school office or from a foundation member. 

As part of the event, folks can help teachers add educational items to their classrooms. Educators post items to the Teacher’s Wishing Wall that they would likes to use in their classroom, and donors can select items they’d like to buy at signupgenius.com/go/2026MCSDTeacherWishWall or by scanning the QR code.
