Career Week

We had a wonderful time during Career Week learning about everyone's jobs. We even got to meet Liberty County's state representative, Al Williams and the mayor of Midway, Dr. Clemontine Washington. It was great for the students to learn what preperation and education goes into having each career.

Study Island

Please try to complete Study Island activities at home throughout the week. This a great resource to help prepare students for the standardized test. The program reviews, assesses, and allows the students to play games on skills we have already learned. I have sent home your child's username and password, but if you need another copy please let me know!
