Ho! Ho! Ho! Before heading back to the North Pole, Santa made a surprise visit to a very special classroom at Smith Clove. The joy on the faces of the students and teachers as Santa entered their classroom, was enough to light the way back to headquarters.💜




He’s making a list and checking it twice! He’s making his rounds, so you better be nice! This week, Santa visited our littlest Crusaders and spread cheer and the inviting spirit of the holiday season throughout our schools. Students enjoyed many memorable events, including a special story-time, fun-filled assembly and a visit with alpacas! 🦙🎅

Kids Changing the World club (KCW) completed their annual Hats for Hope drive. The club collected new, cozy hats and donated them to the Garnet Health Cancer Center. These hats are given out to cancer patients during the colder months, so those undergoing treatment can stay warm. Excellent work, Crusaders! 💜


It’s never too early to reach for the stars! MWHS STARS club shared experiences in goal setting with Ms. Dell-Webster’s sixth grade health class. Students were reminded: You can dream it, write it and achieve it! ✨




Congratulations to the three MWMS students recently named to the 2024-2025 New York State Band Directors' Association Honor Band! The NYSBDA Middle and High School Honor Bands will rehearse and perform in person at the annual NYSBDA Symposium in Syracuse in March. Bravo!⭐️🎶
