MONSON – The Monson PTO is raising funds to bring Mark “Rock” Rothstein’s World of Rope Jumping and his Jump Against Drugs program to the Monson Elementary School.

The PTO will hold a chicken barbecue from 3 to 6 p.m. May 21, at the bandstand. Picnic tables will be set up for participants. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the Monson Gymnasium.
