About this Exploration:



Prior to the Munjor Elementary School building becoming operational in 1974, the two-story limestone building at 882 Main was the schoolhouse for Munjor children. When the USD 489 school district took over the operations of the eight Munjor elementary grades in 1967, they decided to build a new elementary school with a gymnasium and modern kitchen. The gym and kitchen were completed in 1968 and the addition for classrooms was completed in 1974. The building served grades kindergarten through fourth grade until it was officially closed as an elementary school on September 18, 2006.

In February 2009 it became a site for the USD 489 Munjor Early Head Start program. The playground equipment is still maintained and provides the neighborhood children with a nice play area and park facility to enjoy. There are over a dozen play features including 3 slides, several balancing posts, swings, a baseball field and a basketball court.

Today, the building is still used by the parish and it is the gathering place for the Munjor community German meal held each year on the first Sunday of March. Over 700 people attend this annual parish fundraiser and enjoy a traditional Ellis County German meal.
