Transportation Staff Spotlight: Lori Wolfe
This year marks an incredible 30 years working in the transportation department. Over the years, Lori has worn many hats, serving as a school bus driver for 27 years, a School Bus Driver Trainer, a Safety Coordinator, and now, for the past three years, as a monitor on the Schramm/Rogers bus.
Lori's service extends far beyond the bus route. Throughout her time with the district, she has assisted with school registrations, helped route buses, and even delivered meals and homework to students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her willingness to step in wherever needed has made her an invaluable part of the Midwest Central family.
When asked what she enjoys most about her current role, Lori shared that she loves interacting with students and appreciates the opportunity to connect with them in a different way than she did as a driver. She is looking forward to "an excellent, safe and amazing year" and says there is absolutely nothing she dislikes about her work.
Thirty years of dedication, dependability, and service is an incredible milestone. Lori's knowledge of the district, commitment to students, and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on generations of Midwest Central families.
Thank you, Lori, for 30 years of service to Midwest Central. We are grateful for all you have done and continue to do for our students and schools.

The Midwest Central band students had a busy and productive band camp this summer. They spent time rehearsing indoors and outdoors, building their musical skills and sharpening their marching as they prepare for upcoming parades. They also had some fun along the way with games and time together as a group.
We were also thankful to have Dee-Mack Band Director Andrew Gordon spend time working with our students during camp. Over the summer, Thad Franklin worked with Dee-Mack students during their band camp, and Andrew Gordon also spent time with Midwest Central students during ours. It was a great opportunity for students in both communities to learn from another director.
We’re excited for parade season and for the community to see what these students have been working on.
