Valentines for Vets
For the two weeks prior to Valentine’s Day, the MRHS Key Club spent their meetings making Valentines for Veterans! The cards were delivered to the Chatham Veterans of Foreign Wars, a non-profit organization, on the weekend before Valentine’s Day, where the cards were displayed on the wall. Thank you to everyone who made cards, and thank you to our Veterans for their service! The Key Club hopes that all of the Monomoy community had an amazing Valentine’s Day, and a great February break! Anybody who is interested in joining the Key Club, which meets every Friday morning at 8:15 am in the library can contact Christie Beckley at cbeckley23@monomoy.edu or Ms. Howe at bhowe@monomoy.edu! Attached is a picture of some of the valentines made by Key Club members! Thank you!

Scholar Athletes: February
Gabby Bassett
Gabby has shown phenomenal leadership this season with her on ice play. She has shown that no game is too big for her to handle at such a young age. She has been a huge part of our teams success and will continue to be moving forward. Her speed speaks for itself, but her maturity for the game is starting to show as she continues to learn a new position for us. Gabby has a very high ceiling as far as potential goes and I am excited to continue to work with her to hopefully help reach whatever she has her sights on. Most importantly she is a very charismatic teammate who lots of the girls rally around and comes from a great family! Congrats to Gabby. I’m sure there will be many more to come. - Coach Connor Brickley
Alec Brown
The Monomoy Boys Basketball Program is extremely proud of Alec Brown for being one of Monomoy's March Scholar Athletes of the Month. A tremendous teammate and student, Alec personifies the type of student-athletes we hope to build our basketball program around. Whether in practice or games, Alec constantly puts the team first and is willing to help in any way he can. On the floor he has an uncanny knack for being in the right place and is a talented rebounder and playmaker. As a member of the national honor society and a phenom in the classroom, Alec has been a terrific role model for his younger teammates. Heading to Ithaca in the fall to study Sports Media , we all can look forward to Alec's bright future and wait in anticipation for his upcoming sports editorials and broadcasts. We are proud of you Alec!!!!! -Coach Dan Taylor and the Monomoy Boys Basketball Program

BOYS ICE HOCKEY
Over break the week injuries caught up with as our short bench had begun to run out of steam. After losing a pair of games against Nantucket and East Bridgewater we realized that we needed to reset and get back on track. As a result we finished off the regular season strong with a 6-3 win against UCT. This boost in energy will give us what we need to enter playoffs prepared and determined. (Lucas Tambolleo)
