A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
October 18, 2019
Greetings Warrior Families and Friends,
It has been an exciting week here at Muskego High School. Our classrooms were filled with powerful learning opportunities and our students seem to be finding their stride as we head towards the end of our first quarter. There are just over two weeks left in the quarter and it is important to make this time count. Our teachers are available before and after school and ready to help our students reach their goals. If your student is need of some extra support, please reach out to their teacher or their school counselor. We want to be sure that every student is on the right path to achieve their dreams and goals for life after high school.
Please check out our web page to see what events are happening next week at MHS. Our Fall Choir Concert is a can’t miss event and is happening this Wednesday night. Additionally, many of our fall sports teams are wrapping up their regular season competition and will begin tournament play and their quest for state championships events. Please make some time to come out and support the outstanding efforts or our Warriors in all of our clubs, activities, music, and athletics. Your support and energy truly helps make Muskego High School the special place that it is.
Have a great weekend and we hope to see you soon.
Go Warriors!
