Donations in past years have gone to relief efforts in Kosovo and in North Carolina. The last Monday of each month is known as MI Monday or Multiple Intelligences Monday at Shrevewood Elementary . At the beginning of the year, the entire student body was divided up into buddy groups of 16 students per group. These groups have worked together all year, each with a buddy leader who is either a staff member or a volunteer parent. On the last Monday of each month, each buddy group goes to a workshop that emphasizes a way of learning.
