Dear Parents and Families,
I am excited to let you know that at Midland, we are developing student leaders. We are doing this in several ways:
1) Junior Coaches assist our adults to make our recess safe and fun for all kids.
2) Bus buddies assist kindergarten students at the end of the day.
3) Crossing guards help keep drop off and pick up time safe for kids and families.
4) Student leaders will provide skits and entertainment for Mojo Assemblies.
5) Students will make posters for our upcoming FOOD DRIVE.
6) Additionally, “Meaningful Work” jobs are available for all interested students by application. These jobs contribute to the school by student volunteers giving time to complete tasks such as helping in the library, being peer tutors, or assisting in other ways.
I’m proud of our Mustangs!
~Mrs. Dawson

This is Transportation Appreciation week!
Our bus drivers safely and faithfully transport hundreds of students to and from school each day. Imagine supervising over 50 students while driving a school bus! Please take a moment to let your child’s bus driver know how much you appreciate them for transporting our kids safely!
We also would like to thank the wonderful staff in FP’s Transportation Department who make sure students get to and from school in a safe and timely manner, and deal with any emergency with grace! Thank you!
October 25th is Black and Orange Friday.
Wear as much orange and black as you dare!
