This week we will be showing appreciation to those individuals who go above and beyond each day for our students at Sapphire Elementary. Here is a special message to Officer Ken from the Kassim Family! Thank you for helping keep our students and staff safe.
After taking SECOND place at the NYS Championship meet MIA SISLLI went onto All American status by placing FIFTH at the 2022 Indoor National meet this past weekend. Mia race walked a mile in 7:53.47 breaking a 27 year old school record set by Denise Esserman. Mia also broke her own school record in the 1500m race walk with a time of 7:15.46.

Sapphire Elementary students participated in a "soup-er" generous event this winter! The "Soup-er" Bowl Food Drive, spearheaded by Nancy Peifer and Camille Lucaine, collected a grand total of 619 cans of non-perishable food items in just one month. The items, as well as some cash donations, were donated to Our Father's Kitchen, a local food pantry in Monroe.
Thank you to Sapphire Elementary for contributing to such a great cause! M-W is so proud of you.

The Board of Education meeting originally scheduled for this evening will be postponed until tomorrow, Thursday, March 10. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at Central Valley Elementary School.
Stay safe and warm today, M-W!
As her time in Monroe-Woodbury heads to the finish line, MWHS Senior Chloe Chambers keeps her energy focused on one main goal: being a professional race car driver. And, by all accounts, nothing will slow her down.
Tonight, Monday, March 7, Chloe will be on America’s Got Talent Extreme on NBC at 8/7c. Chloe filmed this segment in October at Porsche North America’s headquarters in Atlanta with NBC (and Simon Cowell). Make sure and tune in!
Chloe was selected to race in the third season of the W Series (https://wseries.com/), the female-only racing series that runs in support of the Formula One World Championship. Chloe has returned to school today after testing at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain last week with the race series. In May, she will suit up for her first race in the W Series at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. This is a big step up in the racing ladder as Chloe competed in the US Formula4 series last season. The W Series runs a larger, heavier and faster Formula Regional race car.
Good luck, Chloe! We can't wait to see where all your hard work and talent take you!
Let's go Crusaders! Good luck!
Crusaders are on the road to states. Good luck to Boys Swimming & Diving, Ice Hockey, Varsity Cheerleading, and Boys & Girls Indoor Track (photo to come). We're so proud of you, Crusaders. Let's goooo!
