Activity Student of the Week: Luke Carlson
Luke Carlson is an outstanding student who has shown strong commitment and leadership across several TVHS activities.
Luke helped establish the TVHS Model United Nations club last year and is serving as Secretary General (president) for the 2026–2027 school year. He has attended multiple statewide Model UN conferences and has helped recruit new members to the club.
Luke is also active in music, participating in Marching Band and Concert Band, and last year he earned a seat in the All-State Concert Band. In addition, Luke is involved with the TVHS Theatre Company, volunteering as a member of the set crew for this fall’s production of The Outsiders.
It is great to see Luke’s interests in action and the positive impact he continues to make within and beyond our TVHS community.

Health & Wellness Scoop
September Health Spotlight
Did you know that September is Healthy Aging Month? While “healthy aging” may sound like something for adults, the habits we build when we’re young—staying active, eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, drinking water, and taking care of our mental health—can help us stay healthy throughout our entire lives!
Hydration Station
As we settle into the school year, please remember to send your student to school with a water bottle each day. Staying hydrated can help students feel more alert, support concentration, and keep their bodies working at their best. Encourage your student to take regular water breaks throughout the day, especially after physical activity or during warmer weather.
Fun fact: Your brain is made up of about 73% water, so staying hydrated is important for both the body and the brain!
Coming Up: Hearing & Vision Screenings
Our hearing and vision screenings will be held September 29 and 30.
If your student wears glasses, please make sure they bring their glasses to school on their screening day! Having their glasses available allows us to screen their vision as accurately as possible.
Immunization Exclusion Day
Immunization Exclusion Day is coming in the near future. The date will be announced soon, so please stay tuned for more information from the school.
As always, if you have questions about your student’s health needs at school, please reach out to the Health Office. Cristina Frick (Health Aide) 970-613-7918 and Sheila Calder (Nurse) 970-613-6957
Stay tuned for more announcements, reminders, and the latest scoop from the Health Office!
Unified Flag Football Game
Mark your calendars and come cheer on our Unified Sports team at their first and only home game of the season! The game will be Tuesday, September 29th at 4:00 pm at Ray Pat stadium. We will be playing the Berthoud High School Spartans. Come for the game and enjoy dinner from Lulu's Taters food truck. We would love to see a huge crowd there supporting our Unified athletes.
Bring your Eagle Pride, wear your black and gold, and help us create an exciting home-game atmosphere for our students!
Let’s fill the stands and make it a memorable afternoon for our athletes.
