Amazing Things Happening with the Monomoy STEMinist Club!
The Monomoy STEMinist Club has had quite a week!! On Wednesday, we welcomed Betty Trummel, former elementary school teacher and science enthusiast, to speak with the group about her experiences in Antarctica with research scientists and other educators. Betty shared her love for learning and focused on the amazing research being conducted in one of the coldest places on earth. Thank you to Tori McCormack and Julie Slade, STEMinist co-presidents, for working with Betty to bring this experience to the rest of the group!
On Thursday, the STEMinists were lucky enough to witness a brain removal from one of the thresher sharks that recently washed up on Cape Cod Bay. Marianne Long, Education Director with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, taught the girls about shark senses, shark anatomy, and encouraged everyone to 'dive in'... they didn't disappoint! What an incredible experience for all! Thank you to Marianne and the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy for bringing this amazing opportunity to the students of Monomoy! It truly was a "Jawsome" Hour!!

On Tuesday January 9, five student interns ( Nathan Amaker, Cody Doyle, Jon Frisbie, Griffen Handler & Haley Kelley) interviewed with a panel of our internship community partners.

Andrew Goddard of Chatham PD, Deputy Chief David DePasquale of Chatham FD, and Deputy Chief Geoff Deering of Orleans FD.

Mr. Alexander
Shark Shout Outs to Alison Burton for leading us on an exploration of strengths using Naviance and helping build self-confidence. Her energy, focus and commitment to our group and all that she does is a great example of how to use focus and preparation top be good at what you do. (Tom Brady Award for dedication and preparation)
Griffen Handler for rocking the Ad Lucem shirt on TV - as we move 'towards the light' of the second half of the year and graduation we need all the encouragement we can get. (Devin McCourty Award for team leadership)
Mike and Janie for their dedication and work ethic in all levels of service to our school. From leadership to escorting students - they help set our culture of being team players and focusing on what is needed instead of what is usually done. (James Develin Award for contribution on offense/defense/special teams)
Bill for keeping us focused on getting better instead of just getting wins. Also a big art of our culture - harder work but measuring ourselves against what we could be instead of the standards or our competition. (Bill Belichick Award)
