Over the last few weeks, sixth-grade STEM students had the opportunity to design an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) prototype to assist children with spastic hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. Students worked in engineering design teams to research, sketch, and create an AFO that met specific criteria and constraints, including mobility, fit, foot alignment, support, and comfortability.
Today, the top teams from each homeroom presented their prototypes to guest judges from our high school PLTW Biomedical Sciences class!
Our MHS Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) recently visited middle school physical education classes to share more about their program and to teach our 7th and 8th-grade students about leadership.
Middle schoolers participated in various physical activity challenges while learning about character, self-discipline, citizenship, and community service!
Four Middie artists recently had artwork accepted into the annual OAEA Emerging Artists Exhibition!
The Emerging Artists Exhibition is designed to motivate and inspire new artists to excel in drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, computer art, photography, and printing. This year, 163 pieces of art were selected for this juried show from the eight OAEA regions in the state.

This week, Midview High School Health and Health Science Tech students participated in a three-day CPR/AED class provided free of charge by University Hospitals. Over 100 students gained lifesaving skills and received a fully credentialed American Heart Association certification for adult, child, and infant CPR/AED!
Later this month, MHS Strength and Wellness and Biomedical students will also participate in the training.

Yesterday, Midview Local Schools traded in our blue for purple in support of Midview Volleyball's Volley for the Cure event.
Traditionally Midview's Volley for the Cure match raises funds for the Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer Foundation. However, this year's focus shifted to Intervention Specialist and Volleyball Head Coach Kate Kasper and her battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Our staff, students, and community certainly showed Coach Kate that NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE 💜 All proceeds from the 50/50 raffle, raffle baskets, and bake sale were donated directly to Coach Kate and her family.

Looking to better understand what your child is learning at school, their academic and social-emotional progress, and what you can do to support them? A parent-teacher conference is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s academic performance and experience at school!
The district participated in our first professional development day of the academic year on Sept. 19. Staff spent the day learning new skills to implement in their classrooms, collaborating with others and further developing their expertise!
