Warrior News
A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
October 23, 2020
What an action packed and exciting week here at MHS! Our chemistry classrooms were flooded with a wave of students in tie dyed apparel to honor Avagadro’s number. Of course they did because who doesn’t want to celebrate the number of units in one mole of any substance? This is just one example of the countless ways our students demonstrate their incredible commitment to learning and growing. It is so awesome to have a school culture where students take such pride in their learning.
Please be sure to keep watching and cheering on all of our Warriors in action. After having our first ever individual state champion in girls tennis, our entire team will battle tomorrow in an effort to win our first ever girls tennis team state championship. Additionally, good luck to all of our other fall sports teams in action who continue on their own paths to earning the right to compete for State Championships; boys and girls cross country, boys soccer, girls swimming and diving, and boys and girls volleyball.
Lastly, please take some time this weekend and watch our first ever virtually produced MHS Choir concert. These students have worked incredibly hard and we are excited for their opportunity to showcase their amazing talents. BRAVO to these amazing Warriors!
The concert can be viewed via this youtube link:

Have an awesome weekend and GO WARRIORS!

FBLA is Hosting a Crayon Drive
Hello Warriors! November 2nd to November 13th FBLA will be hosting a crayon drive. Boxes and bins can be found throughout the school, where you can drop off your old crayons. These crayons will be donated to The Crayon Incentive. This organization takes old crayons to recycle and gives them to children in hospitals. Make sure to bring old crayons to donate!
To learn more about The Crayon Initiative to learn more click here.
I also have a link to The Crayon Initiative's promotional video that you can include if you like. This is the link: The Crayon Initiative Story I was wondering if this could be in your newsletter until the drive ends. Then on the last day, November 13th, we can let everyone know how much we were able to collect. If you want to edit or make any changes feel free and let me know if you have any questions.

ACT
The ACT is postponing the section-only testing that was planned to start this September in order to increase testing capacity for those who need to take the full ACT test. At this time, ACT is planning for section retesting to be available later in 2021 but will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on test center capacity to prioritize safe and equitable access to testing.
Please see dates below. Registration deadlines are well in advance of the test date: Register Here
PLEASE NOTE: All juniors will take the ACT during the school day on March 9th. Students will register at school as a group. There is no cost to take the ACT on this date.
Getting into the Trades: Youth Career Cluster Chats
WRTP│BIG STEP is offering virtual sessions called Getting into the Trades: Youth Career Cluster Chats. These sessions will highlight the various construction skilled trades pathways and what is required for an apprenticeship in these crafts.
Each session will feature an overview of the identified trades with a chance to hear from representatives working in the industry. We encourage students to sign up for as many or as few sessions that interest them. They can register to receive a recording if the time doesn’t work with their school schedule to attend “live.” The Zoom registration link can be found through the below links or by going to wrtp.org/events.

October is Bullying Prevention Month
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. Bullying can also take place through technology, known as cyberbullying. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles (https://youth.gov/feature-article/national-bullying-prevention-month).
What should your child do if they feel they are being bullied?
1. Tell the aggressor to stop.
2. Tell an adult about the situation.
Bullying that occurs at school can be reported to any adult in the building. It can be reported anonymously through a note or in person. It can also be reported through email, social media apps or to the following numbers:
Crime Stoppers of Waukesha County
App is P3
1-888-441-5505
Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin
