Friday May 29, 2020
The ending of a school year is always bittersweet but this one is a novel type of bittersweet. Never have we experienced anything like this closing. However, with new forms of learning and activities we all learn. What I learned is that I loved the Wave Parade and 5th Grade Farewell Parade!!! Truly amazing events!
Many thanks to all for your support throughout the school year and especially during this unprecedented time with the pandemic!! You ROCK!! I am so proud of our students, teachers, staff, and families!!! If you have to go through troubled times, our MES family is the best for support!!
Please remember that we have drop off boxes out front if you need to leave anything. Also, register those kindergartners and share this with your new neighbors. We will be in the office over the summer but it may require calling or emailing to initiate communication and need, but do reach out if you need anything. We will communicate changes as procedures are updated.
Please enjoy the summer! Rest, relax, and read some great books with your children. Enjoy the outside and find the fun!!
Thank you so much for everything! Most importantly...thank you for sharing your children with us!!! Bless you all as we begin the summer!
Yours truly,
Jan Fickling
Principal
Yearbooks
There are a few yearbooks left for sale. If you are interested in purchasing a yearbook, please call 821-0300 when you plan to come pick one up. You can pick them up between 9:00am and 1:00pm.
The cost is $34.24. Checks should be made out to Midway Elementary. These will be sold on a first come first serve basis, so when we run out, they are gone.
5K and New to 1st Grade Registration
Please remember that we are accepting registration for 5-year Kindergarten and new to Midway 1st graders. Please email Kelley Waslewski at kwaslewski@lexington1.net and she will send you the registration packet. This is very important to get these students enrolled as this is how the number of teachers is determined. We want to be ready for August! Also, spread the word to your new neighbors!
Once a Mustang Always a Mustang! Congratulations MES 2020 5th graders!
