MONARCH THEATRE PRESENTS
The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza
October 13-15th at 7 PM
Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology using audience participation, silliness, and general theatrical insanity. Famous myths such as Pandora's Box, Jason and the Argonauts (the original Super Friends), and Hercules: Intern God jostle for space with obscure, weird myths such as the myth of Linus and the legend of the Argus. Culminating in a bizarre, musical dance-influenced version of The Iliad complete with a full-scale battle of little green army men, this play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for audiences of all ages.
Tickets available at door or at mohitheatre.ludus.com.
BOND INFORMATION
The 2022 Critical Needs Plan outlines a strategy for investing in all BVSD schools to address major maintenance needs in aging buildings to extend their useful life; replace New Vista High School; plan for enrollment growth; create more Career and Technical Education opportunities; and make it easier for students of all physical abilities to enjoy our playgrounds. Please view this video from BVSD’s Superintendent for more information. Also, please see the Critical Needs specific to Monarch High School.
YEARBOOKS
For the portrait pages of the yearbook, our staff uses names provided to us by the school, which are pulled from Infinite Campus. If a student uses a different name than currently appears in IC that they want to appear in the yearbook, please complete this form. This form should not be filled out for students who go by a nickname ("Tommy" instead of Thomas) or for students who go by a shorter version of their legal name ("Ben" instead of Benjamin). Because of printing deadlines, name change requests cannot be accommodated if this form is not completed by Nov. 1.
Students are back at school making new memories with their friends! Make sure to order the one book that captures the activities, spirit, and unique qualities of our school. Visit jostens.com to order the 2023 Yearbook by October 21st for the LOWEST PRICE!
PICTURE ORDERS

PORTRAITS FOR ALL
“Portraits for All” believes that every high school senior deserves to have a high-quality senior portrait that they are proud of. We connect students who aren't in a financial position to pay for a portrait session with professional photographers in their area who are willing to donate their time and talent. Any rising high school senior in the Boulder/Denver metro area who qualifies for free or reduced lunch or can demonstrate financial need through another avenue (such as referral by a high school liaison) is eligible to request a session. We will do our best to match you with a photographer if one is available near you. For more info go to:

SENIOR BABY ADS

Hello Monarch!
Are you fluent in a language other than English? If so, you should really apply for the Seal of Biliteracy. This is a special diploma endorsement which may be impressive to both employers and colleges alike.
Here’s a link with more information about requirements and the application process.
Although you have to be a senior to apply, underclassmen should begin planning ahead for this special endorsement.
Let me know how I can help.
