Mrs. DeSutter's Chemistry students completed their first lab of the school year, "Penny for Your Thoughts," and did an amazing job!
The activity provided an engaging introduction to laboratory procedures while helping students begin their studies of alchemy and the foundations of chemistry. Through observation, data collection, and critical thinking, students started exploring how scientific ideas and discoveries have evolved over time.
It's been a great start to the year in Chemistry, and we look forward to seeing all the learning and discoveries still to come!
Mr. Servis' Biology students kicked off the school year by learning proper laboratory safety and equipment procedures through an unexpected first dissection subject... a pickle!
This hands-on activity gave students the opportunity to practice collecting and recording data, answering scientific questions, and developing the observation skills that are essential in any science lab. Students also began refining dissection techniques that will be used later in the year during more advanced laboratory investigations.
It's safe to say our Biology students are already off to a great start exploring science through hands-on learning and discovery!

We were also thankful to have Dee-Mack Band Director Andrew Gordon spend time working with our students during camp. Over the summer, Thad Franklin worked with Dee-Mack students during their band camp, and Andrew Gordon also spent time with Midwest Central students during ours. It was a great opportunity for students in both communities to learn from another director.
We’re excited for parade season and for the community to see what these students have been working on.
As we begin a new school year, we'd like to recognize one of the dedicated members of our Transportation Department, Miss Toni.
This year marks 27 years as a school bus driver. For the last 26 years, Toni has driven out-of-district routes, and this year she begins a new chapter driving an in-district route on Bus #10. When asked her favorite thing about driving a school bus, her answer was simple: “The kids."
While Toni may not be one to brag about her accomplishments, we certainly will! Twenty-seven years of service is an incredible milestone and a testament to her dedication, reliability, and commitment to the students and families she serves each day.
Thank you, Miss Toni, for the countless miles, early mornings, and positive influence you've had on generations of Midwest Central students. We are grateful to have you as part of the Raider family.
Please join us in congratulating Miss Toni on 27 years of service and wishing her a wonderful year on Bus #10! #MCRaiderNationProud
