The Spanish 4 class had their Día de Muertos fiesta last Friday, and their experience shows! Ayden created a charcuterie board in the image of renowned artist, Frida Kahlo. Keaton made homemade horchata that was a hit even with people who’ve never tried it before. Brigit’s pan de muerto (bread of the dead) was as delicious as it was beautiful. And last but not least, Riley hand-decorated homemade cookies with a Día de Muertos theme.
Join our team!

The Midwest Central High School Basketball team and the Coaching Staff
attended the season opener for the Bradley Braves on Monday, November 4 in Peoria. The Braves came out shooting hot on a chilly and rainy night to take down Southeast Missouri State 88-60.
The Raiders were hosted by the Bradley staff and enjoyed the evening together as a team prior to the start of practice next Monday. The Raiders are excited to hit the court running as they have worked hard on building strength, athleticism, and their skills throughout the offseason. Be sure to attend Meet the Raiders on November
15th to see them in action!
Reminder - Tomorrow is a 1/2 day for students and NO Preschool classes! Buildings will dismiss as follows: PS - 11:40, MS - 11:20, HS - 11:30

Running at the IHSA Sectional Meet at Elmwood, Senior Ayden Forbis saved his best race for last. Placing 36th overall and running a time of 16:25.24, Ayden just missed making it to the State Championships next weekend. Ayden is now Midwest Central’s third fastest cross country runner of all time.
Spanish 2 students Khloe and Jenna celebrated Día de Muertos a day early with their stunning (and delicious!) fruit pizza. Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a day of honoring loved ones who have passed away.
