Please stop by the lost & found located in front of the office while attending parent-teacher conferences.

Mrs. Herrin's second grade reading group earned all of their brownie points for positive behavior and hard work! They celebrated by watching Shrek and having brownies and Doritos (per student request!) Mrs. Herrin is so proud of them!

Ms. Timm and Mr. Mooney had the pleasure of presenting at the Illinois Principals Association! They got to share with other administrators about the awesome academic and social growth that the MCPS staff have facilitated in their students. It’s a great day to be a Raider!

Last Friday, all the 1st grade classes listened to a presentation from former teacher Mrs. James. They learned about what is like to run a pumpkin patch and the different parts of a pumpkin. James Farms even donated pumpkins so that each first-grade student could take one home. Thank you again! (Not all classes pictured).

Jaina Butler and Reid Sidders represented Midwest Central today at the IESA State Cross Country Meet. Both runners are the first Midwest Central Middle School runners to compete at that level. Jaina and Reid ran respectively and competed with the best in the state. Jaina placed 152nd with a time of 14:37.5. Reid placed 190th with a time of 13:25.2. Congratulations to both on their accomplishments.

Hear ye, hear ye! Far Far Away is coming here! 👑💚 Our students have been rehearsing, dancing, and belting their hearts out to bring Shrek the Musical to life — and trust us, it’s going to be ogre-the-top fun! 🧅 Bring your family, your friends, and your fairy-tale spirit to support these incredible kids. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, and you’ll leave believing that “beautiful ain’t always pretty!” 🎭

Today is the end of our 1st 9 weeks!
