Midland Fire Crew Volunteers for the Sierra National Park
Midland Fire Crew 2011
Midland Fire Crew
The Midland Fire Crew volunteered to work on the Sierra National Forest clearing trails in the Ansel Adams Wilderness for three days. The crew, consisting of Omavi Quadir '14, David Salehpour '14, Miguel Provencio '13, Miles Dakin '13, and Juan Mesones '13, with faculty members Ben Munger '79 and Cory Cramer, backpacked in seven miles and set up a camp to work on the Timber Creek Trail. Trail clearing was done with cross-cut saws, axes, and in special cases, a come-along. The crew accomplished all of the work safely and had a very good time. John Glenn, who was awarded the volunteer of the year award for the entire National Forest System, was the job leader.

Angry bees, field trips, parades, new horse stalls and horse management debates have kept the Fall horse program riders busy.   Click here to see photos of the parade, and click here to read the Fall Update by Equestrian Program Director Celeste Carlisle.

It is hard to believe that the Admission cycle for the 2012-2013 school year has already started!  The majority of students who attend Midland learn about the school through "word of mouth."  We encourage parents, grandparents, alumni/ae, and friends to continue to share their Midland story with friends, colleagues, and school administrators.  Please direct interested individuals to contact Director of Admissions, Amy Graham, at admissions@midland-school.org or (805) 688-5114 ext. 114.  Thank you for spreading the word about this amazing school!
