Dear Nederland Middle-Senior HS Families,

Our Seniors have one final week at Ned Middle-Senior High School. It is hard to believe that we are so very close to the finish-line. The graduation ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 18 at 10:00 a.m. here at the school. We have a number of other senior level events next week; please check the Panther Post calendar for dates and times.

A special thanks to the Panther Parents PTA for a great week of teacher appreciation!

Spring Final Exam Schedule

Sixth through 11th Grade final exams are scheduled for the week of May 20 - May 23 (Blue/Gold/Blue/Gold). See the schedule below.

Master Schedule and Course Selection - Extending Deadline to Friday May 17.

Please look for the school website to access the course selection forms for your students. We have extended the deadline for another week. We have made a few changes on conflicts that have been found and fixed.

Enjoy the weekend,

Gavan

It’s been a great week for Nederland Athletics! We have lots to celebrate.

For HS Track & Field, both the Boys’ and Girls’ teams placed 3rd at the Foothills League Meet. As only a freshman, River LeMaster was voted as the Foothills League Track Athlete of the Year by the coaches, winning both the High Jump at 4’8” and the 300 m hurdles. Everyone set a new PR, and Amika Begin even set a meet record for the 1600 m. Amika Begin, Abby Hess, River LeMaster, and Eric Thurston are all racing today for one more chance to qualify for the CHSAA State Championships. We may have a few qualifiers this year. Very impressive, Panthers!

For HS Girls’ Soccer, we finished the season last Saturday by beating Twin Peaks to place 3rd in the Foothills League. We had 5 separate athletes recognized with All League Honors. Coaches voted for Eva Wrobel, Trinity LeBlanc, and Echo Siglin to receive All League Honorable Mention, and Laila Waldron and Kyleigh McLaughlin to receive All League First Team. Additionally, Alberto Gonzalez was recognized by the coaches as Foothills League Coach of the Year, for I believe now the 6th time. Congratulations to all the ladies and Señor!

Finally, MS Track & Field finishes up their season this week at the BVSD Culminating Meets. All BVSD Middle Schools will be coming together for these meets, with the Girls’ racing Tuesday at Broomfield HS, and the Boys’ racing Wednesday at Centaurus HS. We’re excited to see how they do, and look forward to them joining our HS team soon to continue the good work that’s going on.

All the hard work and involvement is paying off. Nice job, Nederland!
