Special Olympics Game Day was one for the books—a day bursting with cheers, teamwork, and unforgettable memories! From start to finish, it was pure joy and celebration of courage, kindness, and community spirit.
A big, joyful shout-out to all the amazing students who came out to cheer on and support our incredible Special Olympic athletes at today’s Camp Monomoy Special Olympics Game Day! The whole day overflowed with laughter, high-fives, happy hearts, and unforgettable moments of fun and celebration. You all made it truly magical!
Sandscript, our creative writing club, has just published our "Celebrating Pleasant Bay" booklets!! Many, many thanks to the Friends of Pleasant Bay for providing the funds to transport students to the Bay on that beautiful October morning and to pay for the printing. Copies of the booklet will soon be available in school and town libraries in the Monomoy district as well as in the Harwich and Chatham town halls.
The SAIL students grew their own butterflies! We got the caterpillars in early April as little babies. We learned all about the butterfly life cycle and watched each phase as it unfolded right before our eyes! A special shout out to Georgia and Vivian Latham for taking care of the caterpillars over April break and sending videos to us so we could watch their transformation! Today we let the butterflies go! It was bittersweet!
The SHORE program had another epic day on the trails with the incredible Andrea Higgins from Harwich Conservation Trust—filled with salamanders, birds, and frogs, along with gooey hands, plenty of laughter, and endless learning.

Last week, the MRHS Hope Squad organized the 2nd annual Hope Week. Each day had a unique theme, from “Show Your Light” to “Be a Lifesaver.” Throughout the week, Hope Squad members interacted with students during lunch, creating a paper chain of hope where students shared what they like about themselves and how they feel (among other great activities!) Looking ahead, the Hope Squad is preparing for a Pickleball Fundraiser on May 10th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Brooks Park, followed by participating in the Suicide Awareness Walk on May 17th. Please consider donating to this cause through our Hope Squad team fundraising page!
I’m reaching out to invite you to participate in the Suicide Awareness Walk on Saturday, May 17th, an event aimed at raising money for Sharing Kindness. This cause is especially meaningful for us here on Cape Cod, where the suicide rate is higher than anywhere else in Massachusetts.
Sharing Kindness, along with grief support and community education, also plays a vital role in supporting the MRHS Hope Squad, funding the curriculum we use, and providing frequent consultation and support as we grow the visibility of our Hope Squad. The Monomoy Hope Squad will be kicking off fundraising efforts for the walk, so keep an eye out for them!

Dear Families,
I am writing to share some important information about an initiative that Sharing Kindness is offering our district: a school-based peer grief support group.
We all recognize that the loss of a significant person—whether a family member, friend, or other close individual—can be a deeply challenging and life-altering experience. For children, youth, and teens, the impact of grief can be even more profound, as they navigate their feelings and try to understand their emotions, often without fully knowing how to process such intense pain. Whether the loss occurred recently or years ago, the grieving process is complex, and every individual experiences it differently.
While grief can be isolating, it is crucial for children to know they are not alone. A peer grief support group at school provides a safe, empathic, confidential space where children can connect with others who have experienced similar losses. In these groups, they can openly express their emotions, share their stories, and realize their feelings are valid. Talking to peers who truly understand can foster healing, build resilience, and help children feel supported as they work through their grief.
A school-based support group also benefits children by offering guidance from trained facilitators (a licensed clinician and a trained volunteer) who can help them navigate the difficult emotions that often accompany grief. These groups allow for an open dialogue where coping skills and healthy emotional expression are explored, which can have a lasting, positive impact on their mental well-being. This setting allows your child to be supported in a familiar and comfortable environment.
We know grief doesn't have a timeline, and it can resurface at unexpected moments. Participation in a peer grief support group gives your child access to ongoing support, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
As parents and caregivers, you play an irreplaceable role in supporting your child through this time, but it can be difficult to know how to help them process their grief as you are navigating your own. A school-based support group offers an additional layer of support, which can complement the love and care you provide at home. I strongly encourage you to consider the benefits of a peer grief support group for your child. It could be an invaluable step toward helping them understand and process their emotions in a healthy, supportive way.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can provide your child with the care and understanding they need during this challenging time.

Harry Michaud
If you ever can't find Harry Michaud, there's no need to look far because he is most likely on the lacrosse field with a bucket of balls working on a way to improve his game. Despite only starting the sport his sophomore year, Harry is a strong, two-way midfielder who excels offensively, scoring 28 goals in the first 11 games of this season. As great of a lacrosse player as Harry is, he is an even better leader. He is consistently the first to arrive at practice, always last to leave, and constantly forcing his teammates to become better in the process. When you ask Harry's teachers about him, they often describe him as confident, respectful, and considerate. As a positive influence to the people around him, he pushes his peers in the classroom the same way he does on the field. Harry is a dedicated student with a 4.08 GPA who plans on attending Curry College next year as a biology major and a member of the men's lacrosse program. - Coach Chris Harlow
Alexa Ford
Alexa Ford is an exceptional junior, excelling both in the classroom and on the track. A dedicated scholar, she challenges herself with a rigorous course load while maintaining a 4.34 GPA.. Outside the classroom, Alexa shines as a standout athlete and respected leader on the track team, which she joined in 8th grade. Now a three-year team captain, she leads by example and with enthusiasm. Her athletic accomplishments include a personal record of 27.64 seconds in the 200m, earning second place against DY, improving her time by three seconds since freshman year, and qualifying her for States; a time of 1:03.29 minutes in the 400m, earning first place against Martha’s Vineyard with a remarkable ten-second improvement since 8th grade and qualifying her for States; and a personal record of 2:47.5 minutes in the 800m. Additionally, she helped her relay team secure fourth place at the New Bedford Invitational in the 4x100m relay with an impressive 52.38-second split and qualified her relay team for States. Alexa’s combination of academic excellence, athletic talent, leadership, and positive spirit makes her a truly outstanding student and teammate. - Coach Mary Hemeon
