Happy Friday, Coyotes!
Thank you to the Senior Senate and Ms. Duplechin for putting on an outstanding Prom at the Children’s Museum! It was a fantastic event and everyone appeared to have a great time!
Also, a big thank you to the parent organizers and all of the parent volunteers for putting on an extremely successful after prom for the students. It is an amazing event and it provides our students with a safe and fun activity after the prom! The food was excellent and many students left with some pretty impressive prizes! This event does not happen without our parent community. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Next week is Teacher appreciation week! We have an outstanding staff here at Monarch High School so please feel free to send a teacher a note of gratitude and thanks. They work tirelessly each day to provide a positive and productive learning environment for your children! Thank you to everyone who has signed up to bring items for our staff appreciation lunch on Tuesday-there are a few slots still available on the sign up. Click HERE to sign up.

The Council is comprised of students who are interested in collaborating with the District regarding issues of sexual violence, harassment and gender discrimination. Students participating in the council complete Title IX related projects and play an advisory role to the District with a shared goal of elevating student voices and leadership. High school students that are interested in working on the prevention of sex-based harassment and violence at school, who are looking to utilize their leadership skills, and who are passionately committed to this long-term process of change in culture and breaking stigmas around reporting are encouraged to apply here! The Council welcomes all students, regardless of their level of knowledge on Title IX.

This just in! MSU’s offering an 8 week, 5 college credit, online Intro to Korean class. BVSD will cover all tuition and fees.
I had such a great time sitting in the library last week talking with students about my table full of fliers on summer course offerings including free District Select classes through FRCC and BVSD, a free writing class at CU Boulder, an engineering class at CU Boulder, and BVSD Online courses. If you missed me, or if we talked and you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Summer’s fast approaching, and while your top priority may be to relax and recharge, if you also have time to squeeze in some free college credits and you want to learn more about how to do so, I’m here for you.
Let me know what questions you have. Thanks!
