SHARK SHOUT OUTS
- On 'All Arts Day'": I was so inspired and impressed by the talent on display AND by the hard work and caring hearts of our staff to put this show together. Also, SHark SHOUT OUT to Libby Anderson for the idea. Well done, and I am SO GLAD I was able to attend! -Principal Mark Wilson
On Friday February 7 Jessie Currie and Katelyn Lyons represented Monomoy at Massachusetts celebration of girls and women in sports. Jessie and Katelyn are amazing young women who lead by example both on and off the playing field.” -Mrs. Karen Guillemette
Shark Shout-Out to Ms. Caroline Freitas for being awarded the Earth First Grant from the Garden Club of Harwich. The money will go towards an ADA compliant garden bed! -Mr. Bill Burkhead
- I'd like to offer a Shark Shoutout for your Friday Focus. Last night was Senior Night for the girls basketball team, and I want to commend the coaches and the team for making it such a special night for Christiana Fontaine. The support and encouragement for Christiana, and for each other, is an excellent example of true sportsmanship. Also, not only did the Sharks celebrate Christiana, but they also recognized the lone senior on the Sturgis West team, presenting her with flowers and a hearty round of applause. Way to go Sharks! - Kat Szmit
- If you haven't seen the large, black and white photographs that Amanda Schuermann put up in the art hallway and the video production hallway, YOU MUST VISIT THEM WHEN YOU CAN! They are fabulous!! I said it before and I'll say it again, Amanda is one of our greatest assets! -Ms. Lisa Forte-Doyle
The SHORE family would like to send out a very loving and sincere thank you to whoever it was that left a special Valentines Day gift for us outside of our door. You certainly made our hearts happy. Happy VDay -Ms. Shana Grogan and the SHORE crew
