Meet Safety Resource Officer Kenneth Malgieri, a 20-year NYPD veteran and current Monroe Police Officer. Affectionately known as Officer Ken, he is rarely seen without a smile. Whether welcoming UPK students on their very first day at Sapphire Elementary or running right alongside first graders to encourage them during physical fitness competitions, Officer Ken consistently demonstrates how much he cares about the students.
Officer Ken was recently seen creating a personalized “yearbook” so he can greet every student by name. Explaining his inspiration for the yearbook, he shared, “Each year that I work here, I try to get to know the kids more. My goal is to know all of them. I know the parents and the parents love it when I know all of their names. Obviously the most important thing is to keep them safe but I wanted to do something to keep it more personable, for the kids.”
Thank you for everything you do, Officer Ken! 💜💙

Crusaders at MWHS recently marked the 18th anniversary of the Living Ink program. Coinciding with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) National Day of Writing, students decorated the windows in the main lobby with various notes of expression.
Established by the NCTE in 2009, this national program highlights the diverse forms of writing. Living Ink serves as M-W's unique way to honor this mission, celebrating the powerful role writing plays in everyone's life while allowing students and faculty to experience its inherent beauty.
For this year's theme, MWHS embraced the Six-Word Memoir. Students across every English class engaged in the full writing process, guiding their ideas from initial pre-writing concepts to a final product. Each student crafted a six word narrative capturing a pivotal personal moment, illustrating their unique identity and demonstrating that everyone has a meaningful story to tell.
Writing truly is for everyone!
