- Project Healthy Neighbors: Next Monday-Wednesday, several Midland students and faculty members are volunteering for Project Healthy Neighbors in Santa Barbara, a mobile medical clinic that provides services to homeless and near-homeless individuals by offering a range of services in one place. Midlanders will be handing out shoes donated by Soles 4 Souls.
- Oak Restoration Map: Students in Don Redl's Statistics class created a Google Map of Midland's Oak restoration progress. Lise Goddard leads the ongoing native oak restoration project.
- Junior Fundraising: Over Thanksgiving the juniors will be
fundraising for our trip to Mascota, Mexico. As many of you may know,
we spend two weeks in February living with families and attending the
local school with the children of our host families. It is an
incredible educational and cultural experience and we are all very
excited to go. We will be selling coffee, sweatshirts, and other
Midland novelties throughout the Thanksgiving weekend. We will also
have a silent auction with a variety of items donated by Midland
families or made by Midland students and faculty. Any contribution to
our fundraising efforts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you - The Junior Class
