Fourth grade students in Ms. Coto’s class at North Main had a festive way to begin the season of giving. Students welcomed their families to a special presentation built around the book Balloons Over Broadway, a story that explains how the famous Thanksgiving Day parade floats first came to be.
After reading the book together and learning about Tony Sarg, the famous puppeteer who created the original balloons, students were divided into teams of five to design, create and present their own float. Great job, Crusaders! 🦃🙂

Staff members from Monroe-Woodbury’s Transportation Department gathered to donate handmade blankets to Project Linus, an organization that “provides love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”
This year, the district donated over 250 blankets to the local chapter! Thank you to all the dedicated M-W volunteers who made this possible! 💜🥰

Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is off to a great start this school year. Three Monroe-Woodbury students who serve as officers on the SADD NYS Student Leadership Council, Samantha Berrio, Daniela Gunning, and Julianna Fini, attended the National Leadership Summit at Georgia State University in July.
During Red Ribbon Week and National Teen Driver Safety Week, SADD partnered with the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Council of Orange County to host table events during lunch periods and play games prompting students to answer questions about teen driver safety. In addition, members created an M-W GOES RED sign at the front entrance to the high school and recorded segments for the Morning Show to remind their peers to stay drug free.
Great job, SADD members, for continuing to empower and engage peers in positive behavior! ❤️
