CASHLESS CONCESSIONS
We’re thrilled to announce a new feature at the concession stand in Montrose—a cashless option! Here’s how it works:
1. Scan the QR code or type omella.com/re5zx into your browser.
2. Complete your purchase on the site using Apple Pay, credit/debit card, or bank transfer.
3. After placing your order, show your online receipt to the workers at the concession stand, and they will fulfill your order for you.
Please note there is no card reader, so swiping your card at the concession stand is not an option.
Just an FYI: This service (Omella) is free to use for the school and concession stand, but there is a required tip option during payment. That tip goes to the Omella company directly, NOT the Booster Club. You can customize the tip amount however you’d like, including $0.
Prefer paying with cash? No problem! The cash option at the concession stand window is still available.
Thank you for supporting us, and we hope this new option makes your experience even better!

Cooperative writing was a huge success when Mrs. Weber's 7th graders joined Mrs. Erickson's 3rd graders for writing class. The 3rd graders are writing about adaptations an animal (of their choice) has that allows them to live outdoors all year. After doing their research, the 7th graders assisted with typing and guiding organization of the paragraphs including an introduction, body, and conclusion. The 7th graders learned about adaptations as well. An amazing collaboration for our students!
