Robotics Fund Raiser Sale
The Robotics Team will be selling snacks Monday through Thursday next week to raise funds for their season. We have sold out of the homemade pretzel bites the last few days, so if you know a purchase is planned, please email Mr. Summers (mark.summers@maeserprep.org) so he can plan accordingly.
Little Women
Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy invites you to experience Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic, Little Women, brought to life on stage as a Broadway musical. Follow the unforgettable March sisters; spirited Jo, gentle Meg, artistic Amy, and kind-hearted Beth; as they navigate love, loss, ambition, and the enduring power of family during the American Civil War.
This production marks a monumental moment in our school’s history as the very first fully mounted play in the brand-new Mitchell Auditorium. Be among the first to experience our talented student cast and crew performing in this state-of-the-art venue!
Performances November 18th-21st at 7:30 PM and November 20th-21st at 2:00 PM. Purchase tickets at maeserprep.org/tickets beginning November 8th.

HS National Geography Bee
Maeser High Schoolers Have a Shot at Boston!
This year, Maeser Prep is joining the National Geography Bee, a nationwide competition open to high schools across the country. Our students will compete for the title of Maeser’s Geography Bee Champion between January 3 and February 26, 2027. From there, our school champion advances to a virtual national qualifying round in March, with top qualifiers earning a trip to the National Finals in Boston, Massachusetts this April.
It’s an exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their knowledge of the world — we’ll share more details as our competition date is finalized. Learn more at nationalgeobee.org.
MS (7th & 8th) In-House Geography Bee
This year, our 7th and 8th graders are getting their own spin on the National Geography Bee! Rather than the standard online assessment, Maeser is hosting an in-house geography competition just for our middle schoolers — a fun, school-spirited way to test their world knowledge and see who comes out on top. We’ll share dates and details as they’re finalized!
Lottery Opens
Applications for the 2027-28 school year open at midnight on Nov. 1st at maeserprep.org/admissions! Applications received by January 31st will be included in our lottery! Please let your friends and family know!
Study Hall
Need a quiet productive space after school? Maeser National Honor society will be hosting a Study Hall on Wednesdays from 3:30pm to 4:30pm in room 205. Come if you need a productive space, a desk to work at, or chromebook access. NHS members will supervise the session and will also be open to tutor and answer any questions, if possible.
Math Lab
Do you need some help in math? Do you need a quiet place to work on math homework? The math tutoring lab is open Monday through Thursday each week. Before school (7:15 a.m. – 7:45 a.m.), the math lab is in room #302. After school (3:45 – 4:15 p.m.), the math lab is in room #103. The math lab is FREE and open to all Maeser students in any level of math.
