We are excited to announce that Monocacy Valley Montessori Public Charter School will be the 11th school in Frederick County to offer sports at the high school level!
MVM, FCPS' newest Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association member, will offer Cross Country this coming Fall for high school students only. Students should reach out to Allie.Titus@fcps.org as soon as possible for information on how to get signed up.
We encourage all high school students to consider participating in Cross Country this Fall. Participating in high school sports is a great way to stay active for personal well-being, to stay in shape for other sports, meet new people, and create friendships.
Research also shows that "exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function. Exercise has also been found to alleviate symptoms such as low self-esteem and social withdrawal." (Link to the article from the scientific Literature Database by the US National Library of Medicine.)
We will also be offering Winter and Spring sports, which have not yet been determined.
This is just the beginning of what sports can look like as we continue to develop the program.
See you at practice!!!
