It's another busy week at MHA!


Yesterday, our Upper School U.S. Government class welcomed Colorado Supreme Court Justice Richard Gabriel. Justice Gabriel shared his personal journey to the high court and answered student questions, offering fascinating insights into the work and challenges of a state Supreme Court justice. A special thank you to Mr. Hendrick and Heri Gandia for organizing this wonderful experience for our students!


Don't forget this coming Saturday is our Fall Festival! Please sign up to help run a booth and lighten the load for our teachers. All proceeds from the event directly support our classrooms.


Fall Festival Presale Ticket Reminder: You have until Thursday at noon to purchase presale tickets.


Have a great week,

Mr. Gallant & Mrs. Yuros
