Welcome back to our TVHS podcast - Frick That. This episode is Slay or Nay. We talked about comparing "slang" across generations. What we said back in the day vs what is said today. With Cristina Frick, Hedy Brown, Liza Bauer, Marshall Brown, Erick Escarcega Chaparro, and Vincente Altamirano.

Movember, Mindful Choices, and Gratitude

Do you know about Movember??

• Movember & Men's Health: November is globally recognized as "Movember," a month dedicated to raising awareness for men's physical and mental health. We encourage all of our students—especially our young men—to prioritize their mental health, speak up when they are overwhelmed, and check in on their friends.

• Gratitude & Mental Wellness: With Thanksgiving around the corner, November is the perfect time to practice gratitude. Research shows that taking a moment each day to recognize things you are thankful for can reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost your mood during busy exam weeks.

• Shorter Days & Immune Health: As the clocks change (November 1, 2026) and the weather cools, we naturally spend more time indoors. This makes it easier for colds and the flu to spread. Keep your immune system strong by washing your hands frequently, staying hydrated, and aim for 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night!

November is National Diabetes Month, a time to raise awareness about how our bodies process energy. While genetics play a major role in diabetes, building healthy physical habits right now is one of the best ways to protect your long-term wellness and keep your energy levels steady through long school days.

Some examples are swapping out sugary drinks for water and pairing carbs with protein, like apple and peanut butter.

Please remember our immunization exclusion date is coming up, November 19th! If your student is not compliant, even if they attend another school/home schooled but play sport/s, they will not be allowed to attend school come November 19, 26. Thank you for your cooperation!!

Lastly, please make sure your student/s has water with them here at school. If they are not wanting to eat school lunch, snacks can be packed. YOU’RE BODY DOESN’T RUN WELL ON EMPTY!!!!!!!

Hello TVHS Families!

My name is Misti Juergensen, and I am the Activities Coordinator at Thompson Valley High School. One of my favorite parts of my role is helping students find ways to get connected and involved in our school community!

TVHS offers a wide variety of clubs, activities, organizations, leadership opportunities, and Fine Arts programs. Whether students want to explore a new interest, meet new people, develop leadership skills, share their talents, or simply find a place where they belong, there is something for every Eagle.

Opportunities include everything from DECA, Robotics, Knowledge Bowl, and Book Club to Student Council, National Honor Societies, Band, Orchestra, Choir, Theater, Visual Arts, and much more!

Below, you’ll find a full list of our activities, clubs, and organizations, along with the staff sponsors to contact for more information. I encourage students to reach out to a sponsor, ask questions, and give something new a try!

If you’re not sure where to start or have questions about getting involved, please feel free to contact me at misti.juergensen@tsd.org. I’m happy to help connect your student with an opportunity that interests them.

There’s a place for every Eagle at TVHS!

There is always something happening at Thompson Valley High School!

We encourage families to add the TVHS Activities Calendar to their Google Calendar. This is a great way to stay up to date on student activities, clubs, meetings, events, and other opportunities happening throughout the school year.
