Midwest Central Middle School - Home of the Raiders

From Dr. Hellrigel: Hello Raiders - Out of abundance and precaution we have unloaded buses and have instructed our teachers and students to take shelter in our buildings until the tornado sirens stop going off in Green Valley. Our budlings are reinforced concrete and steel and the safest place for students to be at the moment. I will put out an all call when we've cleared the buses for home transport. Thank you, Todd Hellrigel
