Teacher Appreciation Week Starts Tomorrow!
We are very lucky to have wonderful teachers and staff at Midway Elementary! We’d like to invite all students and parents to show extra gratitude to teachers this week. The PTA will also be providing a special lunch for teachers and staff and has planned some other fun things that we'll highlight next Sunday. 

Here are the daily themes if you choose to join in this week, starting tomorrow. You can pick and choose which days you participate - this is all optional.

• Monday - Be extra quiet and helpful in class today. Listen and learn!
   
• Tuesday - Bring a school supply to restock your teacher's classroom (glue stick, tissues, dry erase markers, etc.)
   
• Wednesday - Wear your teacher's favorite color (don't forget to ask him/her what it is!)
   
• Thursday - Return the "All About My Teacher" paper that came home with your student on Friday
   
• Friday -  Free day! Do anything you want to show your appreciation! (write a thank you note, bring a small gift, donate a book to their classroom, pay them a compliment, etc.)

Girls on the Run Begins Wed.

We could use more volunteers for the last Meet the Masters coming up this Wed. and Thurs. Sign up here if you're available!

This year, Meet the Masters was coordinated by Beck Neuner, who spent hours at the school two days each month making sure the program ran smoothly. We're very thankful for her, the fabulous presenters, and other wonderful volunteers who supervised and helped the students with the art projects.

Dairy Keen Fundraiser
Thanks to the many families who bought food and raffle tickets at Dairy Keen last week! Our teachers were happily greeting families and working hard behind the counter. The money raised will go toward classroom budgets. We appreciate Dairy Keen's generosity to help raise money for our school!




School Library Fundraising
We are steadily working toward our goal of $50,000 for improvements to the school library! Thanks to those who have contributed so far! 

Donate to this important project that will enhance learning for all students at our school. Students and parents can also donate coins and cash to fundraising jars that will be in the main office.
