- Project Healthy Neighbors: Monday-Wednesday, several Midland students and faculty members volunteered 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 walked participants through the process and also handed out shoes donated by Soles 4 Souls.

- Vote for William Johnston-Carter's '10 Video: AdmissionsQuest is having a student video contest. Vote for William's Video!!
- 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
