TMHS Weekly Email 11/8/24

Well I truly feel that when the clocks changed on Sunday it also magically somehow became February! Burrrrr.

This snow is causing everyone to get ready for skiing and that 's a brilliant segue to remind you to register for Winter PE!!

I know and understand that you have received a lot of communication from the school this week. Thank you for being diligent and patient and we do what is best for all of our students, staff, and the school as a whole. We are so grateful to everyone for your support, understanding, and for being the best Miner Community!

I know this has been an emotional roller coaster of a week. 

I know students and staff have had strong feelings on both sides about the election results ranging from scared to excited. We are doing our best as educators to put our own opinions aside and hold space for all opinions in the classroom.  

I also am beyond grateful for the outpouring of support for the Calvo family; it is incredible to see our community come together to support the devastating loss they experienced. 

To culminate the week, yesterday and today have been challenging. I would like to share with you all what I shared with staff earlier today about specific details.  I wanted to share some of the following reasoning for keeping some of the facts out; while it might not make you feel better it is what we have. 

 

I am available to talk through anything with anyone who would like. My job is to create a safe and supportive community for all. Please reach out if you need anything; please also know our counselors are available to support all students.

Come support an ALL STUDENT cast of Little Shop of Horrors as they perform and amazing show just for you! This is the perfect way to plan your Fri, Sat, or Sun for next week. Kids and adults will absolutely love the show and we appreciate you supporting the arts and live theater! Let's show up in force to make this a great show and just a note, this show will be a celebration and culmination of 20+ years of the fabulous Mrs. Angela's leadership and creativity. Mark your calendars!!!
