Important Reminders, Upcoming Events, and Celebrations

Good afternoon, Mustangs!

This week, instead of sharing my message I'm going to have the Friday Focus Team, who has been working hard on their 1st production, take the ball and run with it. I just have one quick reminder:

Students, as you plan for Halloween, we want to encourage you to participate by wearing costumes to school on Friday, October 30th. All costumes must be school-appropriate, in alignment with building dress code policy, not disruptive of the learning environment, and follow these expectations:

• No full-face paint or masks that conceal a person's identity. All students and staff must remain identifiable
• No weapons or look-alikes
• No fake blood or gore
• No costumes that disrespect or stereotype cultures, genders, races, or religions

Ok, Friday Focus Team...take it away!

Have a great weekend, Mustangs!

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference! Be kind to others and to yourself!

We encourage all students in AP courses to take the College Board AP Exams in May. Passing scores on AP exams can qualify students for college or university credit, which can be a significant cost savings.

For more information, please see the parent letter that was sent home.

This week, we’re proud to recognize Mrs. Stevee Libert for the leadership, care, and dedication she brings to Mundelein High School each day. Her commitment to our students, staff, and community helps make MHS a place where people feel supported, valued, and inspired to do their best.

Thank you, Mrs. Libert, for all you do for our Mustang family!

The ceremony centers around the four core values of the National Honor Society:

• Character: Demonstrating responsibility, respect, ethics, and trustworthiness
• Service: Voluntary contributions to the school and community without expecting compensation.
• Leadership: Guiding and inspiring others through positive action, integrity, and humility.
• Scholarship: A commitment to learning, academic rigor, and maintaining high grade point averages.

On October 20th, Mundelein Girls Volleyball is teaming up with Lake Forest High School for our "Digging Deep for Cancer" event.

Cancer impacts entire communities, and this year’s event hits close to home. We are rallying support for Mundelein student-athlete Hadley Lawrenz (MHS Golf), who is currently battling Leukemia, and whose mother coaches volleyball at Lake Forest. All proceeds from the event will go directly to Hadley and her family.

Join us as we play for all those impacted by cancer.

What to Expect:

• A special video message from Hadley

• A tribute honoring cancer survivors and fighters

• Raffle baskets & a 50/50 raffle

• Two rival communities uniting for a common cause

Come out, show your support, and help us Dig Deep for Hadley and all families facing cancer!
