It has been a great October at Monson High School. Both our Girls and Boys Soccer teams have finished strong regular seasons and are getting ready for the playoffs. The Boys and Girls Cross Country runners had an impressive showing at their final home meet of the season defeating both Palmer and Southwick. The Golf Team even had a hole in one!
In academics, our senior class set a new school record for the number of students awarded the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship for strong performance on the MCAS! I am so proud of our students accomplishments in our classrooms and beyond.
I look forward to getting the One Act Festival up and running in the coming weeks and of course to take in our student's performances.
This week the first term will be ending for Semester One. If you have questions or concerns about your child's performance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to their teachers and partner up with them in strategizing how your child can improve in their class.
This Saturday night, will be the Halloween dance from 7-10pm. The cost is $7.00 or $6.00 with a canned good for MHS students. I will be sure to bring my camera and update the blog this weekend with costume pictures.

Week of September 28th
This week the Monson High School community welcomed its newest member, Officer Bryan Ellithorpe of the Monson Police Department; he joined us as the School Resource Officer. Legislation passed over last summer mandates that all communities in Massachusetts have a police officer assigned to the schools. Officer Ellithorpe will have an office in the gymnasium and his work will focus on School Safety, Drug and Alcohol Education, and Community Outreach. He will split time between our three schools.
He is a volunteer with the Shriners and is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the young people in our community to promote safety and good choices. Over the next few Fridays, he will be visiting all of our Advisory groups to get to know all of our students on a more personal level. If you see him when you are on campus, please say hello!
I am very excited about the success so far of the roll out of Rediker's Portals for our teachers and students. A number of families have already signed into this free service and can now monitor their child's progress with a few clicks. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to sign up today! This is another way for us to keep the lines of communication between home and school open and direct! With over a month of school already in the books, it is an excellent time to check in on your son's or daughter's progress and to partner up with their teachers to address areas of concern. Our students are most successful when we all stand together to hep them achieve success!
