We’re excited to share something new at Midway — Connections Time! 💙
Once a month, students and adults will spend a half hour together simply making a connection. Students chose the adults they want to spend time with, and a variety of fun and meaningful activities may take place.
The goal is simple: build relationships, strengthen trust, and enjoy time together. These moments matter, and we’re proud to make connection a priority at our school!
Here are a few pictures of our fun day!







Did you know January was school board appreciation month? We want to give a huge thank you to our amazing school board members! Your time, dedication, and commitment behind the scenes help keep our school running strong and focused on what matters most—our students. We truly appreciate all you do for our school, staff, and community. 💙 Thank you to President Brian Schanilec, Vice President Jared Peterka, Director Melissa Somerville-Landis, Director Shawn Anderson, and Director Dexter Cronquist for your continued support and leadership!
It's Midway Art Club's biannual fundraiser dinner and auction. There are only 60 seats available, so get your tickets before we run out! If you can't make it, you can still check out our online auction that begins on February 28th. https://sites.google.com/midwayschools.com/midway-art-club/home
Support the arts at Midway!

In ESP, our 3rd–6th graders have been busy learning how to finger knit blankets with help from our local knitting specialist, Linda 🧶
The students did a great job and had a lot of fun creating together. We’ll continue again on Wednesday!






Our ESP kids had a blast playing Giant Scrabble!
Lots of teamwork, problem-solving, and fun while building words the big way. Great job, everyone!


Congratulations to Ms. Osowski’s Student of the Week! 🎉
We’re so proud of the hard work, positive attitude, and great choices you’ve been making. Keep it up!

Our Jazz students had an awesome time participating in the Myra Jazz Festival this week!

Congrats to Karson Wolf! He placed first at the Behind the Mask welding competition and received a $1,000 dollar scholarship! This is his second year in a row placing first at a welding competition.

The 8th grade had a great time at North Valley last week!

More pictures of our great day! What a beautiful day for sledding! ❄️🛷 The kids had an absolute blast. We haven’t been able to go sledding for our reading incentive in years, so this made it extra special. Huge shoutout to the students who worked so hard to meet their reading goals, the parents who encouraged all that reading, and the staff who kept everyone safe on the hill. Thank you to the 5th graders that loaded and unloaded the sleds. And a special thank you to Turtle River State Park for always welcoming us and supporting our events. What a great day all around!
