Principal's Reflection:
This article really moved me. After reading it, and the heartfelt notes by the students, I couldn't help but think about individual students. I reflected on many of my former students, and current kids here at MRHS and the challenges that they all face. I really appreciated the simplicity of the assignment and the profound impact it could potentially have on building relationships with each student. This year our theme has been "You Are Important." We have focused on building individual relationships with our students, colleagues and guests.
Each week I am thrilled to hear specific stories about how our staff advocate for our students and build connections. I look forward to our faculty meeting today where we continue our work on our "You Are Important" student compliment wall. Enthusiasm is free and it is contagious, I am proud to be principal at such a great school, where EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT. Enjoy the article.....maybe you'll try it in class?
We will continue our tradition of meeting with each grade to start the new semester beginning next week. Our focus will be on sharing with the students the many things we are proud of. We will also review expectations and answer student questions. This has always been a very positive and productive meeting, and the adminstrative team appreciates your sacrifice of class time. If you have any items you'd like to include as an agenda item please contact Janie, Mike or Bill.

Lanyards are in!!
Our sharp looking Monomoy lanyards have arrived and will be in everyone's mailbox by tomorrow. As we discussed earlier in the year, our goal to make our school as safe as can be is to wear the lanyards (or one of your choice) with your staff issued ID's. This is a district initiative to model for our students the importance of maintaining safe schools.
