Automation and Robotics class projects
The students in Automation and Robotics were tasked with creating one of two projects. Either a Cat Toy or a Spinning Sign using at least one of the Gear mechanisms we had worked with over the past month. Students not only needed to create the toy or sign but program it to work. Please enjoy these videos of their finished products!
Thank You

French students visit MRHS
Bonjour Monomoy! MRHS had the pleasure of welcoming a group of 36 French students and 3 teachers this week. They went on a few excursions to Boston, including a Celtics game! They also shadowed their American "Buddies" in school for 1 1/2 days and were immersed in American culture through their host families. French 3 and 4 students made individual welcome posters to wish them a wonderful stay on Cape Cod. Thank you SO much to all the families who opened their homes to our French friends. Special kudos to Cheri Armstrong who welcomed all three teachers into her home and Sarah Wheaton for helping our students print their posters. The French group is very grateful for the warm welcome they received. Merci à tous! /Thank you all! -Madame Linnell
Italian Club
Our Italian Club is really moving forward in their study of basic Italian!! We have a solid group of 8-10 students who come every Jawsome A on Day 3 to learn and converse with Mrs. Forte-Doyle. Bravo!!!

Help Bring Free Yoga Classes to the Harwich Community Center for MRHS Students
Yoga Neighborhood is interested in making yoga accessible for MRHS students after school, especially those who have difficulty managing stress and anxiety. Their mission is to foster health and wellness across the community through compassionate and empowering yoga that is available to all regardless of age, fitness level, or economic ability. I am looking for caregivers who are interested in joining me to make this potentially healing partnership a reality. Donations of good-condition yoga mats are welcome! Please contact Christina Fonts at cfonts@monomoy.edu to see how you can help.
