Monroe-Woodbury’s Art department was treated to a very special performance during yesterday’s professional development day. The day began at Ann St. Gallery with a presentation from Will Carter, a former M-W Art Major and current artist and ended the day at Newburgh Pottery for a wheel throwing and hand building lesson. The best part of the day was hearing from Will how their problem-solving skills and creative beginning was at Monroe-Woodbury and how lucky they feel having had that experience. 💜

On Wednesday, October 29, AV Technician Dana Kerstanski was among school district employees countywide who earned a 2025 Mid-Hudson School Study Council (MHSSC) Award for Excellence in Support Staff Services. Each year, the MHSSC recognizes individuals in the education field who display excellence in their work. Awards were presented to Kerstanski and other honorees at an October 29 celebratory event in Middletown.

Kerstanski plays a key role behind the scenes. Whether he’s setting up the audio visual components for a Board of Education meeting, supporting the Music and Art Departments with their performances and exhibits, or collaborating on The M-Dub Morning Show, Kerstanski proves he is truly multifaceted.

Vice Principal Dr. Kelli Sciarra said, “Whether he is coordinating logistics for assemblies, collaborating and managing logistics for prom and homecoming, or supporting critical events like the mock accident and senior celebrations, Mr. Kerstanski brings insight, innovation and a can-do spirit to every project. He ensures that everything runs smoothly and safely, often anticipating challenges before they arrive.”

Congratulations, Mr. Kerstanski! 💜🏆

Art has a special way of bringing people together. Our National Art Honor Society students experienced this firsthand during a visit to the Monroe Senior Center to lead a fall-themed painting party. While working on their “gourd-geous” creations, students and seniors swapped stories, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter. Even Superintendent Norman stopped by to participate in the fun! 🎨🖌️☺️
