Today is a beautiful day in our neighborhood! First, I just want to say how proud I am of all the students in Monroe Township. You faced the same challenges as the rest of the world- school closures, quarantine, transition to virtual learning, missing your friends and teachers-yet you overcame, thrived and succeeded. From K-12, you embraced the changes, the technology and showed us that learning can happen in many ways, from anywhere.
To the Monroe Township High School Class of 2020, congratulations! The culmination of 13 years of hard work has paid off. I know that you are disappointed that the second half of your senior year wasn’t what you had planned. You’ve missed some of the traditions and rites of passage, but you have found new ways to celebrate each other and your accomplishments. Virtual academic awards, adopt-a-senior, living room proms, a college signing day video and a township wide clap out; our community has laughed, cried and celebrated along side of you. Whether you are headed to college, military service, professional training, or you are taking a gap year, I challenge each of you to make an impact in your world and to be kind. You are tomorrows leaders and we can’t wait to see where you go from here.
