The MWMS sixth grade chorus, under the direction of Ms. Maria Diaz, recently participated in a unique and educational workshop focusing on Indian classical music. Presented by Mr. Naren Budhkar of the East-West School of Dance here in Monroe, students performed talas (rhythms) and ragas (melodies) in preparation for their performance of TaReKiTa at their upcoming spring concert.

The MWMS sixth-grade orchestra, under the direction of orchestra and music production teacher, Ms. Mika Leonard, had an exciting experience during spring break. Crusaders participated in a practice session with Mrs. E’lissa Jones Maynard, a local music teacher, violinist, singer, and songwriter. While encouraging students to pursue their dreams, Mrs. Maynard also shared valuable performing tips. Students learned a "secret recipe" for improvisation solos as well as techniques for enhancing stage presence. Great takeaways to put into practice for the upcoming spring concerts!🎼🎻

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.🥣🥪

Before the break, MWMS math teachers Ms. Gower and Ms. Beneat held a "Spring Recess Sprint" for eighth graders. In small groups, students participated by finding hidden eggs in the recess area, containing either a piece of candy or a math problem.

If the egg held a math problem, the team solved it collaboratively, had it approved by a teacher, and a new student searched for the next egg. If it held candy, a new student immediately searched for the next egg. A bunny was even spotted, encouraging everyone to "hop to it!"🐰✖️➗

The MWMS Art Club supported the Drama Club for their spring production of Into the Woods Junior. The Art Club meets on Tuesdays and many students volunteered every week in January and February to create Fairy Tale Posters for the play. These students had creative liberty and their final products were stunning. The posters were displayed in the auditorium during the performances and students were gifted a free ticket for the production. Students' names were also listed in the PlayBill. Great collaboration, Crusaders!🎨🎭💜

On Saturday, February 28, 2026, nine Monroe-Woodbury teams from five schools applied their knowledge and participated in the 47th annual Odyssey of the Mind competition.

Teams competed in five different problems that encompass vehicle, technical, classics, structure and theatrical. Each team received its problem in early October and then constructed props and mechanisms to prepare the best solution to the challenge. The tasks include a skit or performance that is an original creation. The Middle School team led by Coach McInerney and Coach Rivera took top honors in their problem #2 (technical) performance and will be moving on to the state competition on March 21 in Syracuse!

Congratulations to all M-W Odyssey of the Mind participants!
