FRIDAY FOCUS

• Shark shoutouts to the leaders of the Gender Sexuality Alliance for their work organizing the Day of Silence at MRHS to protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ people in schools. April 8th will be the Day of Silence at Monomoy High School. -Mr. Matt Brown

• Shoutouts also to my AP psychology students, who have been working very hard to master a great deal of material in a very short time. Many AP psych students were members of the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and despite the extra demands of rehearsals and performances have stayed on track. I am grateful to have such talented and hard-working students. -Mr. Matt Brown

• Shark Shoutout to all the Grade 10 students who participated in ELA MCAS!
  

• Shark Shoutout to all the staff that helped with MCAS this week!

The MRHS Theatre Company would like to thank the school community and anyone who attended the performances of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee for being wonderful recipients and audience members! After so much time with limited or no performances, it has been such a joy for the company members to finally have a musical with some semblance of normalcy. Performing onstage for such a beautiful community is a privilege not many can experience, and the students of our company extend immeasurable gratitude for such an opportunity. Much love from our family to yours!!

On the evening of Wednesday, March 16th, MRHS Key Club members arrived at Monomoy Community Services with bags of St. Patrick’s Day decorations. Volunteers helped put the decorations around the building, making the space festive and welcoming for the kids who would arrive the next day! Attached are photos of the volunteers and the decorations, and there is also a video of the kids’ reactions to the St. Patrick’s Day surprise! Thank you to everyone who helped decorate!

On Wednesday, March 16th, the day before St. Patrick’s Day, the MRHS Key Club officers spent their afternoon putting St. Patrick’s Day cards into each teachers’ mailbox. At the previous two Key Club meetings, Key Club members spent their time making the cards! Attached is an image of the cards being put into their mailboxes. The Key Club hopes that they helped to spread some St. Patrick’s Day cheer! Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, and thank you to our teachers for being so great!

Last Friday the Diversity Club took part in the Connection Conference held at Sutton High School, More than 40 schools participated in a day of small informational sessions dealing with equity, diversity, and inclusion. After lunch, the students went into groups to discuss the sessions they had attended. The students felt that the day was a very successful day.

In support of the events happening in Ukraine, the students of MRHS have donated over $400. The donations will be sent to Care USA, which directly contributes the funds to Ukraine for emergency aid. Great Job, Monomoy!!!!

The Creative Writing II: Global Outlook class has been studying the war in Ukraine. They have written both first person narratives from the perspective of Ukrainians we have met in videos, and they've composed "found" poems, using words and phrases from Russian soldiers; many of these soldiers are confused about what they are actually doing there and just want to go home. You can read their work upstairs in one of the displays at the top of our main staircase. The afore-mentioned narratives were added to the display after this photo was taken.

The MRHS After-Prom is a safe and fun event where students can enjoy lots of activities throughout the night after their prom on April 14. We need lots of volunteers in order to make this amazing night come to life. Please attend the upcoming meetings and see how you can help!
