Victory Day Thank You!
Thanks to ALL OF THOSE INVOLVED IN THE SECOND ANNUAL VICTORY DAY CELEBRATION AT THE STADIUM! It was a great day to be a Chemic and it truly was a team effort by the whole Chemic family. It was a very memorable evening for everyone and there were so many smiles and high fives all around.
Special recognition to:
1) Coach Methner and the Varsity Football team for leading and mentoring the special students in football drills and a game.
2) Coach Janelle and the Varsity Cheerleaders cheering on the students and making the signs they ran through.
3) Coach Crystal and the Varsity Pom Squad for their great support and helping make the tunnel.
4) Mr. Attard and the Pep Band who played awesome music and made it feel like it was a Friday night celebration.
5) Mrs. Tebo and Mrs. Brandle for organizing the students and families.
6) Several staff members who announced, took a lot of great pictures and who attended and encouraged the students to have fun.
7) The students and friends that attended the evening cheering on our own special students. Several athletic teams and coaches stopped their practice so that they could support the special students.
Thanks CHEMICS for everything you do to make Midland High an awesome school. -Diane Sugnet

Menus changes are highly likely during this time; however, all students will continue to be offered meals that meet menu requirements, nutrition standards and student acceptability.
