The history of the Monroe School building from the early 1900s is rich and relevant to children.  The Children's Museum of Phoenix is calling on alumni to share their memories and photos of their time and experiences at the school.  We are looking for items such as photos, memories, or newspaper clippings that honor alumni's childhood, history and culture.  Black and white class photos of children who attended Monroe School were shared with the Museum, and they have been turned into banners that hang in the historic lobby.  The stories and memorabilia that we collect will spark a multigenerational treasure hunt throughout the public spaces of the Museum.

Alumni can contact the museum:

By Phone: Call the Museum office@ 602.253.0501
Or Email: Marion
Or Mail: Send a letter or postcard to P.O. Box 2439, Phoenix, AZ 85002
 (Please include mailing address and telephone number.) 

Did you know Jackson Pollock when to school here?  You'll note our nod to him on the canvas seats that children made in his style!
