Mrs. Jelinek’s 5th graders were learning about simple machines. They had some fun with a catapult competition using misc. items!

More pictures of Mrs. Erickson's 4th graders had an amazing day making new friends with Miss Olivia's 4th and 5th graders. We played a Table Talk Dice Game to get to know each other, took a tour and played a new game outside! ❤️

What an amazing night honoring a true Midway legend! ❤️🖤 The field was officially dedicated to our legendary coach, Dennis Horner, and it was incredible to see so many former players, students, families, and friends come out to celebrate his legacy. So many stories were shared about past games throughout Coach Horner’s incredible coaching career. And, of course, Coach knew the stats, the plays, the almost-wins, and the victories! 🏈 Coach Horner, you have made a lasting impact on so many lives, and last night, we celebrated and honored you for all you have given to Midway. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a special and memorable night. It was a wonderful way to celebrate a coach who has meant so much to our school and community. Congratulations, Coach Horner! Your legacy lives on at Midway! ❤️🖤💙 There are more videos on our Facebook Page #Mustangs #CoachHorner #MidwayProud
