Many thanks to Captain Hudson for sharing his thoughts and inspirations with us! I am truly blessed and thankful to be a member of our Midway Family!!

MES School Counseling
MENTORS NEEDED:
The Midway School Counselors are seeking mentors to serve some of our students. A Midway Mentor serves as a special friend to one student throughout the year. They meet with this student once to twice a week for about 30 minutes. Midway Mentors serve as a special friend or support person to help some of our students who need additional love and encouragement. If you are interested in obtaining additional information please get in touch with Chan Gray or one of our other school counselors.
