Dear Mead Families,
Students came back from their long weekend and started the 2nd quarter with lots of learning! Our teachers continue to collaborate and design rigorous instructional opportunities for our students every day. If your student is in an AP class, please make sure you register them for the exam by November 6th. Additionally, this past week was National Bus Driver Safety Week. Thank you to our drivers for your critical role in the safety of our students, as the first line in the morning and the last one in the afternoon, you truly become a special part of our students’ lives!
We are so excited for our post-season sports! Softball crushed it and played very well in the first round of state playoffs. We are so proud of this group of young women. Soccer heads to playoffs this Thursday; more information on the location will be posted on our website once the season wraps up this weekend. Cross Country showed up strong on Thursday in regionals! All of the Lady Mavs PRed, with Eden Griebel qualifying for state. For the boys, two of our own Mavs, Josh Knight took 1st and Asher Parsons took 2nd, leading the team to a 2nd-place finish overall. They head to state on October 31st in Colorado Springs at the Penrose Event Center! Football is wrapping up their regular season and heading into playoffs on November 14th.
Our Music & Performing Arts groups have been busy as well. Choir participated in the combined choir this past week and loved performing alongside their SVVSD peers. They are also hosting Trick-or-Treat Street with our theater program tonight! If you can make it with your families, we would love to see you there.
I continuously reflect on how lucky I am to be a part of such an amazing community. While our students excel academically, athletically, and in the arts, I am consistently proud of how they show up each day with kindness and respect. They live the Maverick Way, whether it’s by picking up a piece of trash that isn’t theirs or reminding their peers of our behavioral expectations without adult intervention. Mead is truly the best school in the nation!
Warm regards,
Lindsay LaPorte
Principal, Mead High School
