We are Monroe Monarchs!� We rise, we grow, we fly!�

We bounce back when it’s tough —

We give our best and try.�

We lead with care and kindness,� We help, we don’t walk by.�

We care for one another

Together, you and I.�

We are Monarchs, we fly! 🦋

我們是門羅君主蝶!

我們站起,我們成長,我們飛翔!

我們遇到困難不退縮——

我們竭盡全力,勇往直前。

我們以關懷和善意引領,

我們樂於助人,而不是袖手旁觀。

我們彼此關愛,

你我攜手。

我們是君主蝶,我們飛翔!

¡Somos los Monarcas de Monroe!

Nos alzamos, crecemos, volamos.

Nos recuperamos cuando es difícil—

Damos lo mejor y lo intentamos.

Lideramos con cuidado y con bondad,

Ayudamos, no pasamos de largo.

Nos cuidamos unos a otros,

Juntos, tú y yo.
