Welcome to Midland Adventist Academy!
Parent-Teacher Conferences - March 25Sign-up sheets for the upcoming parent/teacher conferences are now in the office and waiting for your signature. Conferences will be held from 2:00 - 7:00pm on Thursday, March 25. Please note that we will be having a teacher inservice that morning, so there will be NO SCHOOL for the entire day.Just Claim It 2010Midland will be taking a group of high school students to Just Claim It 2, a presentation of the North American Division of Seventh-Day Adventists. This five-day series will take place April 7-11 in Columbus, OH, and attendance is expected to reach into the tens of thousands. JCI2 will actually encompass several events:
In addition to the 120 hours of organized prayer, organizers have coordinated 15 workshop tracks (180 workshops), a special community mission project called "Just Make-Over," speaking opportunities for teens called "Youth Preach-Out", drama presentations focusing on Biblical prayer encounters, Biblical floats parade, and a music festival with a special feature of the 300 voices JCI Mass Choir accompanied by a 250-piece orchestra. To ensure the JCI impact in every community, special invitations have been sent to the President of the United States, his cabinet, members of Congress, the Senate, Governors, State Legislatures, Mayors, City Councils, Community Activists, and world leaders of many nations. For more information, visit the Just Claim It website. Senior Class Play - Our Miss Brooks Midland seniors (with the help of a few other folk) have Talent, and our casting is now complete! "Our Miss Brooks", a delightful comedy (with a hint of romance), set in the 1950's, was presented to an appreciated audience this past Saturday evening, March 6. Miss Brooks is glad that she doesn’t have to put on the school play this year; that way she won't have to feud with Hugo, the basketball coach. He might just be the guy for her and she doesn't want anything to get in the way of getting HER man. But Mr. Wadsworth, the principal, has other ideas... We hope you didn't miss this event! Click here for further play information, a guest review, and pictures (all coming soon!) Teacher Inservice Although there was no school for the students on February 22nd, Midland's staff were present for a continuing education Inservice. Teachers from Wichita joined with us to hear a presentation on Differentiated Instruction presented by Dr. Joseph Allison, Chair of the Department of Education at Union College. Dr. Allison challenged the staff to teach to all students, so that all can learn. He also reminded them that students don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. After a lunch of vegetarian hoagie sandwiches, teachers attended another break-out session with more strategies on teaching to the individual needs of each student. Making education a positive and successful experience for each child is important at Midland Adventist Academy. Results from Week of Health Students raised money by jumping rope and shooting hoops in their PE classes during Week of Health, and by bringing in donations. All told, Midland raised more than $900 for the American Heart Association! For more information on the poster contest, the pizza party, and who gets to be "Principal for the Day", check out our Home & School page.American History Comes to Life
West Lenexa church member Gene Sellow spent his childhood in the segregated south during the 1940s. He recently spent two class periods sharing his experiences with Mr. Vollmer's American History class. It's another example of how Midland teachers enrich classroom learning with examples from the world outside the classroom. Here's how some of the students responded:
Midland Brings Home Basketball Gold and Silver! Midland returned home from the MAU Basketball Tournament with some new hardware for the trophy case. The Lady Mustangs won their end of the tournament for the second straight year (and three years out of four), and the Mustangs guys brought home a second place silver. In addition, Braden Frishman won first place in the Three-point contest, Zach Frishman took second, and Heather Naumann claimed first place on the Women's side. First team bids went to Kirbi Yelorda, Lindsey Maddux, Zach Frishman, and Kyle Breyer. Heather Naumann and Braden Frishman received second team nominations. For more information and scores, check out our Tournament Page. Congrats to our award winning students!
