During second quarter, they collaborated to create a class animal research book, but this quarter each student had the opportunity to research an animal of their choice.
They did an amazing job not only reading their books aloud, but also teaching others fun and fascinating facts about their animals. The excitement and pride they showed in sharing their learning was incredible to see!
Way to go, Miss Nieuwkoop’s class — future scientists and authors in the making!
And the celebration continues... Don’t forget to join us for Academic Night 2026 tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3, from 5:00–6:30 PM at the Primary School. It’s going to be a wonderful evening of learning, activities, and fun for our families!
We are excited to celebrate Read Across America Week starting tomorrow at Midwest Central! It’s going to be a week full of books, fun, and school spirit as we celebrate the joy of reading together.
Here’s what families can look forward to:
• Book Fair – Find your next favorite read!
• Spirit Week – Join in the fun with our themed dress-up days.
• Academic Night – Tuesday, 3/3/26 from 5:00–6:30 PM
Our Academic Night is designed especially for our K–5 students and families (Pre-K hosts its own special family night separately). We can’t wait to welcome our elementary families for an evening of learning, literacy, and fun!
Reading opens doors to imagination, knowledge, and adventure — and we’re excited to celebrate all week long. Get ready for a fantastic week, Raiders!
We invite all students to join in the excitement by participating in our themed dress-up days as we celebrate the joy of reading. Spirit Week is a great way to build excitement around books and show our school pride!
Check out the full list of daily themes so your student can plan ahead and join the fun. We can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity on display next week!
Mark Your Calendars! 📅
We’ve had parents and staff members asking as they begin planning summer activities and vacations, so we wanted to share that our current last day of school is scheduled for May 28, 2026.
As always, this date is based on our approved school calendar and could change if additional emergency/snow days are needed — but as of now, May 28th is our official last day.
We hope this helps as you start making those summer plans!
