Early Fall Update 2015

August and September brought a very successful start to the school year with a positive energy flowing through the building.  Our athletic teams are off to strong starts and Girls Soccer remains undefeated.  Once again we had two very successful community nights under the lights with players form the town’s youth program sharing the spotlight. 

We also had another successful year with the folks from Adventure In Adventure out working with the freshmen on the “You Belong Program”.  This program is supported in part by a grant from the Monson Cultural Council a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.  Thanks also to the Monson Schools PTSA for their continued support of the program.

Our first new look monthly assemblies began last Friday with Jill Foulis coordinating a faculty “flash mob” We also congratulated our September student of the month, Andrea Proietti.  Andrea was nominated by Jeff Sitnik for his outstanding work in his computer networking course.

While the attendance at our Open House was not as a high as hoped the families that joined us for the evening were positive on the outlook for the upcoming school year and were very complimentary of the faculty at the high school, thank you for coming!

The new gym floor has of course been a big hit with the students and the community alike and I look forward to basketball season for our players to enjoy it.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to remind all of you that we will have parent conferences on Tuesday October 20th and if you are interested in meeting with your child's teachers you can contact Mrs. Sheila Mahoney in the MHS Main Office at (413) 267-4589 or by email at mahoneys@monsonschools.com.
