World Geography Presentation on May 22nd and 23rd in the IMC
The ninth grade world studies students at Mead High School have been learning about current human rights issues around the world. In small groups, they have each researched a human rights issue including, genocide in Sudan, violence in Mexico, torture at Guantanamo Bay, sweat shops, human trafficking, child soldiers, water pollution and scarcity and many more! Each group has prepared a poster exhibit to display in a museum style presentation. In addition, each group has also prepared an interactive element to their presentation like games, simulations, etc!
We would like to invite you to come tour these exhibits as "judges". You will simply go around to each exhibit and ask the students questions to find out more about their topic and then fill out an informal judging sheet. We are in need of as many judges as possible, adults and students. It will take a minimum of 20 minutes to see some or all of the presentations.
Presentations will happen in the MHS Library:

1--7:25-8:45
2--9:10-10:30

To the Senior Class of 2012
Amazing that three years ago you were mere sophomores and we were opening a brand new school.... :) As your Senior Class Advisor, I have really enjoyed working with all of you. It has been an honor. I want to wish you all a bright future and we look forward to hearing of your many successes as you move on to the next chapter of your lives. You will always be our first graduating class of Mead High School. We will never forget you.
I give you three quotes....the first two from Dr. Seuss and the third from E.E. Cummings.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. --Dr. Seuss
Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting. So....get on your way!! -- Dr. Seuss
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. -- E.E. Cummings
Make sure you enjoy and learn something from every day. It goes by in a blink of an eye. Trust me on that. Good luck and congratulations. Go out and do something spectacular!!
