Monomoy Best Buddies join the Unified Competitive Strength and Conditioning program
Monomoy Best Buddies has paired up with the Special Olympics and joined the Unified Competitive Strength and Conditioning program. This is another fun and engaging way to get students participating and working on fitness together, gaining strength, AND confidence. Strength and Conditioning is a Unified activity where students with and without intellectual disabilities meet and train while working toward a progression in their fitness levels … and gaining lifelong friendships.

MONOMOY YOUTH VOICES!!!!!!! CHECK IT OUT
Attention Sharks!
Monomoy Youth Voices is here!
Be Seen. Be Heard. Make a Difference.
Masks ≠ Silence
MYV is a platform for you to say what you want to say about topics you care about. We are inspired by the quote, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter". In a year where our lives have been turned upside down, I couldn't think of a more appropriate time to hand you the mic!
Up until Friday, January 29th I will be collecting work that represents your personal voice, experiences, ideas, opinions, stories, messages, etc. It can be in the form of poetry, posters, art pieces, photos, videos, animations, audio recordings of someone reading their work out loud, recorded musical pieces, tik tok videos, essays, etc. The content is up to you! (Artist statements optional, but suggested for visual works to help give the viewer some context!)
We will be preparing a virtual showcase, and launching the website in February. Launch Date TBD.
Send all work to aschuermann@monomoy.edu.
If you wish your work to be anonymous, just let me know!
Check out some of the past photos of MYV Here:
