On behalf of Monarch's Student Council, we are extremely excited to announce our upcoming Wish Week and Winter Ball!

Wish Week is our annual week-long fundraiser supporting Make-A-Wish Colorado. Throughout the week, there will be lots of events and fundraisers to support and make an impact to Make-A-Wish. This year, our fundraising goal is $40,000 and we are excited to see what Monarch High School and the community can do!

Wish Week will take place from February 23rd-27th, with our Winter Ball dance on February 28th.

This year, we are honored to be celebrating Sabrina! Sabrina is a junior at Centaurus High School who was diagnosed with lymphoma and is now cancer-free. Her wish is to be an Avalanche player for a day, and we are excited to celebrate her in this unforgettable experience.

Wish Week:

Our Wish Week opening assembly will be on February 23rd with our closing celebratory assembly on February 27th.

Throughout the week, there will be several new fundraising initiatives, including:

• Clubs vs. Clubs Competition: Each club will receive a unique donation link, and the club that raises the most money will earn the opportunity to sponsor and run a game at the Wish Week assembly. A live leaderboard will be displayed throughout the week, highlighting the top five donating clubs and their totals.
• Restaurant Fundraiser Nights: Monarch has partnered with local restaurants to donate a percentage of their proceeds to Monarch's Wish Week.
• And much more!

We are also seeking support from parents and families who own or are affiliated with local businesses. Community partnerships and business sponsorships play a crucial role in expanding our events and increasing our overall impact. If you or someone you know may be interested in donating, sponsoring an event, or partnering with us, we would love to connect.

More details about daily events, donation links, restaurant nights, and sponsorship opportunities will be shared soon. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to make Monarch High School a community that gives back!

After receiving numerous comments about pedestrian safety for accessing the Monarch school campus, the Town of Superior, City of Louisville, and Boulder Valley School District are partnering to install a protected bike lane on 88th St to allow for safer and more comfortable travel along the corridor for school children and parents.

The bike lane will accommodate bi-directional biking, and the sidewalks will be reserved for people walking during school drop-off and pick-up. Vertical delineator posts will be used to separate the bike lane from the northbound vehicle travel lane and will reach from Promenade Dr up to Campus Drive.

Future plans for this corridor include applying for a Safe Streets For All grant to improve the bike lane permanently, tying in to paved paths at the Redtail Ridge development, and routing through a future underpass at Campus Drive.

This improvement is intended to help achieve the goals outlined in the Superior Transportation Plan and Superior Vision Zero Action Plan.

The spring parent book club will have their meetings in the school library from 6:00-7:30pm on these dates.

• Tuesday, 2/24/2026, 6-7:30pm
• Tuesday, 3/24/2026, 6-7:30pm
• Tuesday, 4/21/2026, 6-7:30pm

Hello MoHi Juniors and Parents!

It was great to see so many of you at our Junior Journey night presentation. We wanted to share our presentation slides with you. It is also posted on our counseling website, mohicounseling.com. The presentation outlines important information to know as a Junior going into your last year of high school.

We also want to encourage 11th grade students to sign up for a junior meeting with their counselor. Counselors will go over everything you need to know to get out of high school and reach your post-secondary goals. Parents are welcome to join as well. You can sign up by clicking on your counselor's name on the mohicounseling.com homepage and choosing a block of time.

If you have further questions please reach out to your counselor.

Thank you,

Monarch Counseling Team

Wondering what to expect in case of a weather closure in all or part of BVSD?

Under all but the most extreme conditions, school officials have a responsibility to keep school in session. During Colorado winters, snow and ice are to be expected. As always, BVSD respects a parent's decision to keep students home from school or delay their arrival due to weather conditions. Contact the school's attendance office and the absence will be excused.

* No notices means no closures or significant delays have been reported.

More information about weather-related school closings and cancellations.

If you know someone that is not receiving our communications, please share this information with them.
