We want to thank the Middlebury Fire Department for helping make the end of the year memorable for our students. They have been to several K-3 buildings this week to serve food and have fun with the kids. Yesterday, they were at Orchard View Elementary School spraying water from a fire truck while students played at recess. Our students loved it. Thank you!!
Ms. Mathew’s 2nd-grade class at York Elementary School took learning to the great outdoors last week—without ever leaving the room!
Her classroom was completely transformed into a fun, interactive campground. Here’s what the adventure looked like:
Personal Tents: Every student's desk was turned into their very own cozy tent!
Camp Circle: The "campsites" were arranged in a big circle around the room.
New Connections: Students got to interact and learn with each other in a totally new, exciting way.
We love seeing such creative learning environments. ⛺

York Elementary School third grade students are testing design structure and aerodynamics to see how far paper airplanes will fly. What a fun way to learn these principles!
The Middlebury Food Pantry is hosting free lunches this summer for anyone age 18 or younger. It begins the day after school is out and food can be collected for more than one day. Please see the attached fliers for details. This is a great opportunity to make sure our students get the nutrition they need this summer. What a great community!!
Students at Jefferson Elementary School are enjoying the weather today. They especially like drawing with chalk and playing cornhole!!
On May 1st, about 30 companies came to Northridge High School to interview 90 work-based learning students for real jobs. The jobs included areas like manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture, giving students many options to explore. Students created resumes and signed up for interview times ahead of time, showing they were prepared and responsible. The goal was to help students get jobs that match their future career plans and fill a work-based learning position for next year. Employers shared positive feedback about the students, highlighting their strong communication skills and interest in hiring them now or in the future. Thank you to our community for investing in our youth!!
Happy Mother's Day!! Mothers, you mean the world to us. 💚💛
Happy School Nurses Day!
Today, we want to take a moment to send a huge THANK YOU to the incredible school nurses who keep our students healthy, safe, and smiling. You do so much more than just hand out ice packs!
We are endlessly appreciative of everything you do, including:
• Caring for sick students with endless patience and compassion.
• Managing and dispensing medications to keep everyone on track.
• Being a calm, reassuring voice when a student takes a tumble or just needs a moment of comfort. ❤️
• Calling parents to keep families informed, connected, and at ease.
• ...and doing so much more behind the scenes to keep our school running smoothly!
Your dedication to the well-being of our school community means the world to us.
We love our nurses! Thank you! 🩺
Please consider attending this event to support our creative and talented students!!
🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
This week, we want to pause and celebrate the MCS educators who shape our future every single day. Teaching is so much more than a job; it’s a calling, and we are grateful for the ones in our community.
To our teachers: We know you work unseen hours. We see the early mornings before the bell rings and the late nights grading papers. We appreciate the unwavering dedication it takes to answer questions on weekends from both parents and students. We see the immense resilience required to constantly adapt to new curriculums and navigate new mandates.
Yet, despite the challenges and demands, you continue to do it all while loving our students and guiding them through the true art of education.
Thank you for everything you do. Your dedication goes beyond the classroom walls and leaves a lifelong impact. You are seen, you are valued, and today (and every day), we celebrate you!

🚌 Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌
We absolutely LOVE our bus drivers! 💛 They are so much more than just the people behind the wheel.
Often, a bus driver is the very first smiling face our students see to start their morning off right. Day in and day out, they navigate the roads to transport our students safely to and from school.
Their dedication doesn't stop at the final bell, either. You’ll constantly find them stepping up to help with after-school activities, late-evening sporting events, and busy weekend field trips.
Simply put: without them, our school corporation does not function. They are the driving force that keeps us moving!
Please join us in saying a massive THANK YOU to our incredible transportation team today.
