Smith Clove first graders in Mrs. Adlerās class had a wonderful time reading The Dot and learning about the power of coming together. Inspired by the story, students created their own colorful T-shirts, sang songs about kindness and made a special craft filled with hearts and dots. You never know where one dot will take you! šā¤ļø

Did you know February is National Bird-Feeding Month? First grade students and some very special guests in Mrs. Adlerās class at Smith Clove, got a jump on the celebration by making their own bird feeders. The class read The Winter Bird, which explains how some birds donāt migrate and must stay through the cold winter, learning to find food in harsh conditions. The story also teaches a great lesson about adapting to change, something these first graders are learning every day. š¦āļø
REMINDER: All Monroe-Woodbury schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
MWHS students in Ms. Bullaās Explore Teaching as a Profession program are introduced to careers in education. Through this program, many students learn that working in this field goes far beyond the traditional classroom teacher role. Education offers many paths, but all require commitment, empathy, and a heart for service, all characteristics of a Crusader! š
