Dear Midland Families,
Thank you to the many families who participated in the reverse drive-through parade at Midland last week. It was such a joy to see each of you!! As we begin to wrap up the year, it's time to celebrate and reflect on the events of the past 10 months. In addition to the hard work of teaching and learning in our classrooms and on-line every day, Midland has had many events and highlights this year, including:
- Walk-a-thon and Food Drive
- Excellent family involvement in Student Led Conferences
- 5th Grade Virtual Camp
- Reverse Parade
- Field Day Fun
This Tuesday we get to celebrate those Midland students who are now graduating from Franklin Pierce High School in our annual GRAD Walk! It's always great to see our former students and hear about how they remember their elementary years.
Next week, we have our 5th grade promotion on the 21st and 22nd and our last day of school on Tuesday, June 22nd!
Our students, families and staff have a lot to celebrate. Thanks for making it a great year!
It's great to be a MUSTANG!
~Dr. Paula Dawson
