Weekly WrapUp
And that's the way it was
Week of 9.14.18
Week two brought statewide recognition to the amazing staff we have here at Mount Vernon High School in the form of Mr. Robert Hand's selection as Washington State Teacher of the Year. A MVHS student nominated him last spring writing of him,
“Mr. Hand got to know my struggles and did what a lot of other teachers didn't: He actually acknowledged them. After this, he didn't lower his expectations of me because he knew I was as capable as any other student who had the privileges I didn't. With Mr. Hand’s support, throughout high school I got to discover my true potential. When I enrolled in Skagit Valley College, I kept that, ‘I can do anything’ mindset that Mr. Hand taught me. I am about to transfer onto a 4-year university and pursue a career as an educator. None of this could have been possible without Mr. Hand always being by my side – no matter what.”
In addition to our celebration of our outstanding peer, MVHS has much to celebrate with our student athletics this week. Congratulations goes out to MVHS Football and their heart-stopping victory against Sedro-Wooley last Friday Night. MVHS Girls Soccer overcame Mariner HS 4-0 yesterday. Tennis topped Stanwood 7-0 and Swimming soundly defeated Oak Harbor 129 to 30. Girls Volleyball started their season strong defeating Mariner HS in 3 rounds.
Thank you to our LINK Leaders and sponsors for hosting the freshman tailgate this evening. Feeding that many hungry teens is quite the undertaking - thank you for making their first month memorable.
A huge thank you to all of you for helping all students engage in clubs this past Wednesday. Your willingness to connect with students beyond the classroom does not go unnoticed. Thank you for building a community of champions.
