Dear Mead Families,
What an incredible Homecoming Week it has been! Our students have done a fantastic job showing their school spirit during our daily dress-up themes. Here is a look back at our athletic and extracurricular highlights, as well as important upcoming dates.
Golf is wrapping up a great season. Volleyball hosted two exciting home games this week. Softball played away at Holy Family on Tuesday and celebrated our seniors on Thursday night vs. Centaurus. Soccer put up a strong performance against Frederick on Tuesday. Cross Country is hosting the annual Mead Stampede Saturday starting around 8 AM, welcoming over 30 schools to the competition! Our AMAZING marching band will be performing at the Greeley Marching Invitational this Saturday at noon. We are grateful for our cheer and dance teams who continue to show up for each other and their peers at various games throughout the week.
Our homecoming parade is tonight at 4:30 PM in downtown Mead. The Homecoming Football Game will be tonight at 7:00 PM. Homecoming royalty will be announced at halftime. We hope you can come out and cheer on all these events!! The Homecoming dance is this Saturday from 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM at Mead High School. The theme is A Night in the City. Tickets are $30 at the door for Mead High School students. All guest forms should already be turned in and approved. We hope to see all of our students there!
In the classroom, our students continue to engage in high-level work. Our teachers are actively focused on developing new ways to promote critical thinking, foster student ownership, and build excitement around learning every day.
We have some important upcoming dates! On Wednesday, October 7, we will have our first testing day & Senior Asynchronous Day. 9th & 10th Grade students will be taking the practice PSAT. The 11th graders will be taking the official NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). Seniors should engage in an asynchronous learning day. Research consistently shows that the more students practice these standardized exams, the better they perform. Thank you for supporting your students on this important testing day.
Student Conferences are coming up on Tuesday, October 13th & Wednesday, October 14th. Please refer to the recent email for sign-up links. We strongly encourage you to bring your student with you so we can collaboratively build plans to support their success at MHS.
I am so proud of our students and staff. Thank you to our entire community for continuously showing up and supporting our Mavericks! Have a wonderful weekend.
Warm regards,
Lindsay LaPorte
Principal, Mead High School
