Hey there Monroe Woodbury, this is James Skoufis and what has Monroe-Woodbury
and public education meant to me? Really I would not be here without the education
I received at Monroe-Woodbury. For me and for so many people, public education is
the great equalizer. No matter where you come from or who you are, how much money
you have, who your family is, public education is supposed to be there for
every single child that is looking to better themselves and that's what it was
for me. So, thanks to the teachers and the staff that I had, the education I
received, the skills I learned and the friendships I made that remain to this
day, that's why I am who I am today and I'm incredibly grateful for it.
So, thanks for all that you do and thanks for all that you will continue to do for future
generations and all the kids that come through your door.
People here - staff and teachers - they're so kind they say good morning, how are you?
I go to advisory, I live the rest of my
day at school great. So then, in the morning before school and or after
school there are so many programs, including including drama, music, which I
like bassoon and saxophone because I play them, and especially after school there's
a lot of sport programs like football, baseball, basketball - probably any sport
you can think of, there's a Monroe- Woodbury team for it. Also wrestling,
there's another one that I thought of. And probably much more, so that's amazing
about Monroe-Woodbury. So I'm a very happy student that I am special, that I
get to be in the Monroe-Woodbury family. And that's pretty much it, so thank you!
I think there's a certain virtue in spending 12 years with people who
have really dedicated their lives to public service and teaching.
Hi Gabriel and Alex. What does a Monroe-Woodbury education mean to you?

Why is it your favorite subject, Gabriel?
Music is my favorite subject because I like playing the trombone a lot.

Hi I'm Emily Wang. The words that come to mind when I think about my
M-W education are growth, excellence and commitment. My M-W education has not only
helped to develop my academic abilities, but also my musical achievements.
Through classes like Chamber Orchestra and ELA, M-W has managed to give me a well-rounded
base upon which I can build a future on. I'm a very musically and academically
involved student who is very grateful for all the opportunities my M-W
education has offered me, especially through my favorite part of the day -
my music classes. Without the M-W music department, a lot of achievements in my
life would not have been made. I can undoubtedly say that my M-W education
means more to me than my school life and that it has given me a positive outlook
on my future.
Hi, my name is Mackenzie Hintze and I graduated from Monroe-Woodbury
in June of 2015 and I'm here today to
talk about how I feel that my experience at Monroe-Woodbury has prepared me for
my future. I'm currently going into my junior year of college at SUNY Geneseo
and I'm a biology major. And I really do think that my experience at Monroe has
helped me a lot while I'm in college. One of the first things that you talk
about with people when you get to college in your freshman year I feel
like is you talk about your high school, and I came to find really quickly that I
came from a very large high school compared to most other people in my
college. And at first people would say things like, how did you get any
attention in high school... there are so many people? Like you must have been lost
in like a sea of people? But I never really felt that way and I told them
that um I feel like in Monroe-Woodbury we have a great way of having everyone
be recognized and, even though there are a lot of students who attend the schools,
there's never that feeling of getting lost. When you have a teacher that's
really interested in what they're teaching you, it makes all that much of a
difference because it helps you to retain that information. And I've used
information from a lot of classes that I've taken in high school or middle
school into what I'm doing in college. And I really do think that those basic
things that I learned from teachers that were really passionate about their
subjects helped me to continue with what I'm doing now in college.
In addition to the teachers and the curriculum, I think that the after-school
activities or the other opportunities that we provide really did make a
difference because it gave you so much experience in worldly things that
helped you to connect with people and to learn how to deal with other people.
And I think it's a really important skill that people should have that they're
able to effectively communicate and work with other people in their lives,
no matter what situation that they're in. And I think that with all the
opportunities I received from Monroe-Woodbury, I really did have that chance.
I really do thank Monroe-Woodbury for my past academic experience cuz I
don't think I would be the person I am today without them. Thank you.
