Dear Mead High School Community,
The Mavericks were back at it this week. In classrooms we are seeing students conducting labs, having deep conversations about books they are reading, discussing big historical events, and taking on tough math problems. Our students and teachers quickly got back in the routine of teaching and learning. That also means that our students were busy with extracurricular activities. Earlier this week a large group of our performing arts students attended SVVSD Theatre Day. Our students helped run different stations designed to teach current middle school students many of the skills and tasks that go into putting on a full production. Our students were amazing leaders and they inspired many students to continue with performing arts. Boys wrestling won in convincing fashion at Holy Family on Thursday and the girls wrestling team had two big wins over both Poudre and Roosevelt. Our Unified team had their first game on Wednesday against SCHS. Our students had lots of energy and fun in their win over the Raptors. Friday night is going to be a big night as both boys and girls basketball teams play at home against rival Frederick. Girls start at 5:30pm and boys at 7:00pm. It should be a great community event.
This week our counselors and Advisory teachers spent three Mav20 class periods working with students on their course requests for next year. Our goal is that every student selects courses that align to their passions and interests while challenging them and preparing them for their postsecondary learning. We sent information home earlier this week. Please take time to read through the materials. If you didn’t see that email, don’t worry as all of the course request information, including all of our offerings, graduation requirements, expectations and more can be found on our Course Requests Webpage. Students must have their course requests completed by the end of this month.
There is no school on Monday due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. There is also cold weather and snow forecasted for this weekend and into next week. Stay tuned for any updates from our district communications team should there be any changes in our schedules next week. Students should prepare for the weather by dressing warm and giving more time for travel. I hope everyone stays warm and has a great weekend.

Sincerely,
Brian Young
