Dear Midland Elementary Families,
As we step into the beautiful month of October, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic events we enjoyed in September. Our school was buzzing with excitement as we celebrated Grandparents Day, a heartwarming occasion where generations came together to share music, laughter, and love. It was truly a special day filled with cherished memories.
In addition, our Fall Ball was a tremendous success! Our students danced the night away, showcasing their enthusiasm and school spirit. It was a joy to see our young stars shining on the dance floor, making the event a memorable experience for everyone involved.
As we transition into the colorful season of fall, we have many more exciting activities and learning opportunities planned for our students. We will hold our annual “Donuts with Dads” on Friday, October 13th. Parent-teacher conferences will take place on Tuesday, October 17th and Thursday, October 19th. We will also be holding our Halloween Parade and Halloween Parties on Friday, October 27th with our Trunk or Treat happening that evening.
Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Together, we make each day at Midland Elementary an unforgettable journey of growth, discovery, and friendship.
Wishing you a joyful October!
Warm regards,
Jason Wynn
Principal
