Who should go to the camera?

Monomoy is launching a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Advisory Council, which will advise the Superintendent and the School Committee, resulting in thoughtful actions that respond to the needs of all students, families, and staff. The goal is to create a school district in which all students feel like they belong, all students are successful, and demographics are no longer an indicator of success.

• "I would like to give some "thanks" to both Cheri Armstrong and John Dickson, for providing our students with two amazing authentic learning opportunities. Cheri tackled her first Credit for Life fair, which provided our seniors with a "sneak peek" into the reality of adulthood. Students learned how to be fiscally responsible as they prepare for life after Monomoy. Secondly, John Dickson and the Political Action Club hosted a congressional debate, a pre-COVID tradition. Our students held integral roles in the process by writing the questions for the candidates and moderating the debate. It was easy to see why our social studies department is a state exemplar of civics in action!" - Principal Jennifer Police
  
  

• "A huge thank you to Cape Cod Five, Mrs. Armstrong and all the volunteers who made Credit For Life possible. This is a great opportunity for the senior class to learn how to be fiscally responsible as they make plans for their next chapter!" -The Guidance Team

On Thursday, November 3, senior students participated in Credit for Life, a financial literacy fair, sponsored by Cape Cod 5. The fair provides students with a fun and engaging opportunity to discover the importance of their financial decisions and their planning for the future. This program would not have been possible without the generosity of those who volunteered their time and the support of local businesses providing generous donations to make this a memorable and exciting event for our students.

With the help of John Dickson and the Political Action Club, MRHS hosted a debate for the candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives Massachusetts Ninth District; Rep. William Keating and Jesse Brown. The entire 8th grade class attended and students from various other grades signed up to view the debate during Jawsome. The Political Action Club members acted as the moderator and panelists, and also developed the questions for the debate.

Once again, Sandscript (our creative writing club) continued the 20+ year tradition of visiting Kindergarten and 1st graders to read Halloween stories that they wrote and illustrated. Many thanks to Principal Jen Police for supporting our annual trip and the following teachers who invited us into their classrooms: Dawn King and Elise Johnson-Dreyer from CES; Julia Blois, Brandi Frommeyer, Amy Silvester, Susan Rusch, and Kathryn Giangregorio from HES. Without the support of these teachers, this wonderful tradition cannot continue. We hope you enjoy these photos taken by wonderful Joy Jordan.

Spanish I & II students created an "ofrenda" this week in honor of Dia de Los Muertos. Both students and faculty alike honored the deceased in a traditional way with candles, flowers, and photos. ¡Que todos descansen en paz eterna!

"Melissa Velasquez is a 4-year member of the girls soccer team and a captain, in this, her senior year. As the starting center midfielder, she has a big role in both the offense and defense. She is key to setting up the attack as well as winning balls in the middle of the field defensively. She is also a two-time captain and Cape and Island league all-star in basketball. In the classroom, Melissa earns high honors with a 4.61 GPA. She was the winner of the Notre Dame book award her junior year, is a member of the National Honor Society, and is recognized as an AP scholar." -Coach Jenn Peterson

"Jake Vagenas, a true Student Athlete. Jake, a Junior, has had a great start to not only his football season, but his academic year with a 4.3 GPA. He has an incredible work ethic and leadership skills. Jake has expressed to his teammates how important grades should be for them. On the field, Jake is a natural QB reading the field and connecting passes with his receivers. Jake has a bright future ahead of him. Any path he decides to take, Jake will be top of his class or team by working hard and never taking shortcuts. We as a team are proud to have him as a captain, and to have him back for next season!" -Coach Rob Sliney
