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!

MWMS students proudly represented our school at the National Association of Secondary School Principals Leadership Experience and Development (LEAD) Conference in Washington, D.C. from February 27–March 1.

At this national event, members of the National Junior Honor Society participated in hands-on leadership development, strengthened their skills, and connected with peers from across the country.

The 76 students also toured the US Capitol Building and enjoyed an evening visit to the iconic monuments. We are so proud of their leadership and the way they represented Monroe-Woodbury! 🇺🇸

As we wrap up Black History Month, Superintendent Norman gave an engaging and interactive presentation to a group of 500 MWMS eighth graders. The presentation focused on the diverse founders of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the powerful impact of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

The presentation brought history to life and reminded students that meaningful change often begins with ordinary people.
