Today we presented the family of the young student in our District fighting cancer with the proceeds generated from our HS boys' basketball Coaches for Cancer Benefit. The total amount collected from all sources of the benefit totalled $2025.00. Midwest Central would like to thank all those who donated and purchased items for this cause.
We have openings for bus drivers and monitors. There are regular and substitute positions open. Come join the Raider family!
Kindergarteners are always having fun! Monday, we celebrated our 101st day of school.
"We Are Raiders!" Now for the Raiders who really keep Midwest Central Primary School functioning each day. Our paraprofessional team are the masters of all trades. They help students off and on buses, coordinate lunch and recess, assist with all levels of academic learning, help students make friends and demonstrate respect, tie shoes, assist with personal care, play games, and the list goes on and on and on.
Our daily student functioning could not occur without the supports of these paraprofessionals: Front Row: Mrs. Schafer, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Trettin, Mrs. Oertle, Mrs. McIntyre; Back Row: Mrs. Meeker, Mrs. Piro, Mrs. Neulinger, Mrs. Byrd, Mrs. Neulinger, Ms. Mangold, Ms. Sloter (not pictured: Mrs. Garman, library paraprofessional).
HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK!!!
Midwest Central is lucky to have 2 amazing ladies in this district who go above and beyond for our students!!
Primary school Raiders got to do a Gymnastics Unit in PE. They learned how to control their bodies in air by squeezing their muscles. Some skills we practiced were: body positions for a hollow hold, tuck, open & closed pike and straddle, forward rolls, tripods, head stands, handstands, and cartwheels. This was SO MUCH FUN!
1st Grade team and their costumes for the 100th day of school!
Our Administrative Assistant team of Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Wilbur, and Mrs. Gregory are the glue to this whole building.
Our grade level and student support teams keep the students flowing throughout the day but the secretarial team keep the adults working at maximum potential. They are the face and voice of the building, Ms. Timm, Mr. Mooney, and Mrs. Jackson's right (and sometimes left!) hands, and the logistical masters. They assist the adults with technology for the multiple programs we utilize, plan schedules, identify barriers and successes we could encounter, order all materials for our staff, and keep students and parents calm when uncertainty is faced. They are the life and breath into our adults who then breathe that life into children.
We are one team here at MCPS and we need each other in so many ways to create forward motion, with purpose.
Kindergarten celebrated the 100th day of school yesterday.
THANK YOU MCPS!!! We really appreciate all of the love and support we are getting from our community and our buildings!
Look how cool this banner is... it was signed by all of our Raider family, students and staff, at MCPS. You guys ROCK!
Take a look at our 3rd grade teaching team! Ms. Powell is our student teacher from Illinois State University and she is fearlessly guided by master teacher, Mrs. Deluhery, and supported by the rest of the team including Mrs. Coile, Ms. Campbell, and Mr. Askins. Although she is home with her newest job of mothering two tiny twins, Mrs. Juchems (not pictured) is dearly missed in the third grade.
This is a resilient team who are honest and trustworthy and this shines through in their students who are often identified as leaders in the building because their hard work, determination, and kindness.
Third grade is a great place to be!
The 5th grade team might make up the oldest team at MCPS, not because of their ages but because of their years of experience which is well over 60 between just the three of them! Ms. Mooningham joined the 5th grade team, coming from 4th, with Mr. Guenther and Mrs. Berg.
This team prepares students for leaving the elementary school and moving on to the middle school and that is no easy weight to carry. They pour their heart and souls into their 5th grade students for the last 180 days of their MCPS lives and it shows in the maturity and development that occurs by the end of 5th grade.
Fun facts about Mr. Guenther: he retires in 80 days after 34 years with Midwest Central CUSD 191 and he was Principal Timm's 5th grade teacher!
