Anything is Possible!

Anything is possible if you think its worth
while.
If you are willing to go the distance to go the
extra mile.
With determination and effort, you can often
achieve more.
Because you don't always get what you wish,
but what you work for.
Dreams can become challenging, but no matter what
the cost,
Strive to complete the task before you, and
you'll never end up lost.
So bring with you your goals, and leave
your doubts behind
Whether you think you can or can't, you certainly
will find
You'll be right either way, so never quit
and always try.

Softball Hit-a-Thon
hitathon
On October 28th, the MHS Softball team sponsored a hit-a-thon, benefitting the American Cancer Society.  What is a Hit-A-Thon? Friends, family and fans sponsor their favorite player by pledging a donation for each hit the player gets during the Hit-A-Thon. 

 

The Midland High Softball team raised $3,293.90 for the American Cancer Society.  MHS is proud of Coach Vines and the Lady Dawgs!
