Menomonie Middle School Announcements ?

Cory Greenwood:  MMS welcomes guest speaker Cory Greenwood today! 

Cory is no stranger to the challenges that students face in today?s world. He understands the mental health struggles, academic stress, and family problems that weigh heavily on the shoulders of our country?s greatest resource. When students enter the auditorium and find their seats, Cory?s contagious energy electrifies the room, making even the toughest challenges feel conquerable. His program begins with humor and laughter, setting the stage for a powerful and emotional journey. As a loving father, Cory knows that every student deserves to be loved and heard, and he delivers that message with authenticity and compassion.

Throughout the program, Cory shares his personal story of loss and resilience, inspiring students to connect with their own stories and find hope in their struggles. He reminds every person in the room that their story matters, and that their life has significant value. By the end of his program, students leave the room with a newfound sense of purpose and a deep understanding that they can make it.
