Jump for Heart & Hoops for Heart

Sponsored by the American Heart Association

Help your child get involved! Students will be jumping rope and shooting hoops during their PE classes on Wednesday, February 10th during Week of Health. All 1st-4th graders will participate in Jump for Heart, and 5th-8th grade will participate in Hoops for Heart.

Prizes will be given for the top posters, a pizza party to the class that raises the most money for the American Heart Association, and more! Please check our Letters page for more information.

Your child can set up a Web page and you can e-mail friends/family to make secure donations. Note that donations are a flat amount, not per jump or time limit. Just visit americanheart.org/jump or americanheart.org/hoops to get started. Donation envelopes and Health Posters need to be turned in by February 11th. If your child's poster is turned in by February 11, they will receive a $2 discount for the planned swimming party at Matt Ross Community Center on March 7.



Union College Music Festival

Mrs. Bruette directs the Midland choir during Friday night vespers at MusicFest.

Many of our high school students took part in the recent Union College Music Festival. The yearly festival alternates years between choir and band; this year's festival was specifically for choir. The two main concerts were also streamed on the internet via UCLive. Click here for the full story and a photo gallery (from UCLive).


Boxtops for Education - Final Turn-in date is Feb. 23

Our first Boxtops for Education turn-in was a great success. According to Joelyn Tucker, we received a check in December for $398 for the first round. This is already more than the total for all of last school year. Keep on saving those box tops, there's less than a month until the final turn-in date for the year. Let's make sure we reach our goal of $500!


March Citrus Fruit - Last Chance for the Year!

It’s Citrus Fruit Time...for the LAST TIME this school year! Midland’s Home and School is pleased to offer fresh citrus fruit from Florida again this year. Fruit will be sold during the four months of November, December, January, and the beginning of March.

The deadline for ordering March fruit is February 18. February fruit can be picked up at the school or Shawnee Mission Medical Center in March (specific date not yet determined). However, extra boxes are often available; if you didn't order by the deadline, please check once the fruit arrives to see what you may be able to order.
