Midway Public Schools

Today is School Resource Officer Day! 👮‍♂️💙 While we don’t have just one dedicated SRO, we are so fortunate to have several officers who regularly stop by, check in, and walk through our building. Their presence means so much to our students and staff. A huge thank you to the Grand Forks County Sheriff's Department for your continued support and partnership. We truly appreciate Andy and the entire crew for helping keep our school safe and connected. #goodguysinbrown #gfcso

On Friday, our 3rd–5th graders enjoyed a fun and engaging Book Tasting event! 📚✨ In Mrs. Thompson’s room, students sampled some of the classics—exploring timeless stories that have been loved for generations. From page to page, they discovered new favorites while enjoying the special “tasting” atmosphere. It was a wonderful way to celebrate reading and introduce students to books that truly stand the test of time! ❤️📖

On Friday, our 3rd–5th graders had a Book Tasting. In Mrs. Erickson’s room, students sampled a wide variety of sports books—from motocross to football and everything in between. They rotated through tables, explored new titles, and discovered stories and topics that sparked their interest. Add in a few tasty snacks, and it made for the perfect Friday activity! Great books + good company = a winning combination. 🏆 We love seeing our students excited about reading!

The old-school Childcraft Encyclopedias! The students loved flipping through the pages and discovering just how much information you can find in a classic set of books. Great books, tasty snacks, and curious minds made for a fantastic afternoon of learning! 🍎📖

Don't forget FCCLA is selling Valentine’s Day items tomorrow!

We encourage the community to attend a Forum Meeting that will be held on February 26th at 6:00 PM. This informative meeting will be open for questions and discussion.

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!
