Mascot: Monty
In 1984 the student body of Momot (formerly Monty Street School) Elementary wanted a mascot. Students submitted drawings and suggestions. When all the suggestions were in the students voted on the one they liked the best.

Monty the Bear was elected as the Mascot of Momot Elementary School.
Monty has a twin, Buddy, who is the Mascot of Bailey Avenue Elementary School.
