SHARK SHOUTOUTS
- I'm grateful for all the support that community members have shown the Gender Sexuality Alliance in their recent fundraising efforts. The GSA raised nearly $200.00 by selling holiday socks this season to aid True Colors United to help LGBTQ youth. Community members have been also generously supporting the GSA in their fundraising work at basketball games for the Tadema-Wielandt family in their time of need. -Mr. Matt Brown
- Thanks, too, to our office, administrative and guidance staff as we have negotiated a difficult end of the semester in the wake of recent tragedies and with so many students and staff out sick. Everyone has gone the extra mile for our students and Monomoy community, for which I am deeply grateful. -Mr. Matt Brown
