I was so proud to read a recent article posted on http://www.masslive.com/ about one of our students Amanda Carrier. Amanda started a clothing drive as her confirmation project, but the project "took off" in the wake of the tornado. Here is the link to the wonderful article: http://www.masslive.com/living/index.ssf/2012/01/amanda_carriers_clothing_drive_in_monson_refocused_expanded_following_tornadoes.html
Congrats Amanda on a wonderful job. You sure helped the town of Monson!

Connect-Ed Message: 1st Semester Exams and 1/2 Days
Greetings,
Below is the text of a Connect-Ed message I am sending to the entire MHS community this evening.
Until next time...
Good evening,
This is Dr. Linkenhoker, the Principal at Monson High School. I am calling this evening to remind all families that this Thursday and Friday, January 26th and 27th are half days for our students. In addition to being half days, our first semester final exams will also be administered during these two days.
On Thursday, students will take exams in their B and C block classes. On Friday, students will take exams in their A and D block classes. Teachers have reminded students about this schedule already. I encourage families to reinforce this schedule and ensure students are well prepared to finish this semester on a positive note.
Monday, January 30th is the first day of our new semester. Students will report to homeroom at the beginning of the day and receive their second semester schedule. If students have conflicts with their schedule they should sign up in homeroom to meet with their appropriate school counselor. I wish everyone success this week as we wrap up our first semester and prepare to begin second semester next Monday.
Take care and have a wonderful evening.

Seeking Host Families for Foreign Exchange Students
Monson High School is anticipating some foreign exchange students for next school year. I find these experiences are not only life-changing for the foreign exchange student, but often provide a wonderful and rich experience for our students. Below is a blurb prepared by Sue French, the program coordinator for CCI. I encourage families who are willing to host a foreign exchange student to contact Sue at your earliest convenience.
There will be foreign exchange students coming to Monson High in the fall. CCI, The Center for Cultural Interchange, needs host families for these students. If interested in welcoming a student into your home to experience American life and to enrich your family by exposing them to a different culture please call me for the details.

Feel free to call with any questions!

Please ask for this letter tonight.

Happy New Year and Announcing the NEW Homework Helper!
Happy New Year to everyone! I'm sure I can speak for the vast majority in wishing you a healthy and successful 2012 and hope that we can avoid any more major weather-related events. With the New Year now upon us, I want to take just a moment and remind everyone that our first semester ends with the conclusion of our two half days on January 26th and 27th. Students will complete their final exams on those two half days and then begin the new semester on Monday, January 30th. I wish all students success as they complete their current coursework while preparing for those final assessments.
In light of the current schedule I also want to announce that we will not be providing mid-term progress reports as we have in the past. I encourage all students and families to view the updated Edline reports and communicate with teachers if there are concerns or questions before the end of the semester.
And finally, I am excited to announce that beginning today Monson High School will conduct an after school Homework Helper program. This new initiative, spearheaded by Mrs. Doherty-Lind, will provide an after school opportunity for students to gather and work on homework or study for quizzes and tests. The program will meet every Monday and Wednesday in the library while food and drinks will also be available. Student tutors will be attending to assist anyone. We expect the program will run until at least 3:00pm and perhaps longer if students are actively working on assignments or studying for an upcoming assessment. I hope this opportunity is found to be beneficial and productive for our students!
Until next time, take care and good luck as we wind down the first semester and wind up the new semester!
