40 years go by in a blink of an eye...just ask Lois Ann Hayes, a retired M-W teacher who returned to the classroom this year to fill a leave position in the MS. Ms. Hayes began teaching during the 1983-84 school year and spent much of her career shaping young lives in M-W. Once a Crusader. Always a Crusader. 🤗💜⭐️ #mwlegacy #crusaderpride #mwinspiresuccess

Special thanks to our transportation team, working closely with the Department of Public Works, for traveling the roads in the early morning hours to help us make decisions in the best interest of our school community.
We are grateful for all you do behind the scenes.
All Monroe-Woodbury schools and offices will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17, due to icy road conditions and extremely low overnight temperatures.
