Welcome Back, Raiders!
Today was the first day back for our Midwest Central teachers and staff, and we kicked off the 2026–27 school year with a morning full of good food, laughter, inspiration, and time together!
First up was a delicious breakfast prepared by our amazing Food Service staff—and it was MOST yummy! Thank you for starting our day off right!
We then had the opportunity to hear from Mark Schumacher, a motivational speaker, comedian, and former classroom teacher who knows firsthand both the joys and challenges of education. Mark brought plenty of laughs while reminding our staff about the impact educators make every single day. It was a fun and inspiring way to start the year!
Dr. Hellrigel followed with district updates before staff headed to their individual buildings to prepare for the days ahead.
We are thankful for the time together today and excited to have our Raider family back under one roof. Now there’s just one very important piece missing... OUR STUDENTS!
We can't wait to see our Raiders on Friday! #MCRaiderNationProud
