Tasty treats and family time were a huge hit at CVE’s PTA Bake-off. Crusaders celebrated the event by partaking in over 30 entries from both students and staff. Families sampled a variety of delectable desserts including lemon and blueberry cookies, mini cheese cake brownies, chocolate chip cookies and many others! Yum! 😋🧁

Students in Mrs. Collins class at CVE are officially published authors! Over the past few weeks, these Crusaders have been researching a person of influence they were interested in. Through an organization called Student Treasures, Mrs. Collins was able to submit their work and get it published. The students showcased their hard work with a special publishing party, where they proudly presented their books to invited guests, including their families and Superintendent Norman. Congratulations! 📚🤩

Our STARS have done it again! Their latest visit with fifth graders at Central Valley Elementary was a huge success. Under a banner that reminded everyone, “This is a positive thinking area,” the STARS reinforced their core values with a captive audience. Way to go! 💜🤩

Hey, Crusaders, we'll see you all back at school on Monday, April 6. Let's finish the year strong!

Crusaders, take lunch off your to-do list! We’re happy to remind you that breakfast and lunch are available to all students at no cost to families each school day! No need to pack lunch (or breakfast). Our food service professional team is here to provide students with nutritious, balanced meals to help them learn, grow, and succeed.

If your child prefers to bring lunch from home, they are still welcome to take milk, fruit, vegetable, grain, and/or protein at no cost to complement their meal—our "Sidekick" meal.

We also offer convenient grab-and-go breakfast options that students can enjoy at school or save for later. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s health and learning—because every student deserves access to wholesome meals to be ready to learn each day.🥣🥪

If you have any questions, please email foodforthought@mw.k12.ny.us or call (845) 460-6200 ext 10159.

Monroe-Woodbury kicks off World Autism Awareness today, with recognition continuing throughout the month of April. We believe every voice is unique and deserves to be heard. 🧩💜

Happy Friyay, Crusaders! Spring has finally arrived after what felt like a very long winter! 🌸🐝
