Congratulations to one of our MP 2nd-grade teachers, Kerri Bell, on receiving the Iowa Excellence in Teaching about Agriculture Award! This award is presented by Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation. This award "celebrates educators who effectively incorporate agricultural literacy into their classrooms, helping students connect with Iowa's rich farming heritage". Kerri was the top candidate chosen among elementary, middle, and high school teachers from across the state of Iowa.
The Mid-Prairie Fund for Academic Excellence continues to grow, thanks to the generous support of our Mid-Prairie community, alumni, and friends. The fund, first seeded by the Class of 1966 with a $66,066 endowment donation, has now grown into a community-sustained project with a fund balance of over $170,000. The fund has awarded over $33,000 in teacher grants through the 2023-2024 school year. Teachers are given the opportunity to apply for a grant that will positively impact their classroom in an innovative, educational way. These teachers can provide extended learning opportunities to students that otherwise wouldn’t fit into the building budget. The Fund for Academic Excellence sets Mid-Prairie apart from other schools and is a model for others to follow.

Congratulations to our MPHS Student of the Week, Douglas Stephenson! Douglas was nominated by Mrs. Boman, "Douglas is super fun to have in class! Not only does he catch my mistakes (which are a few), but he is also very respectful towards me and his peers. Douglas puts in the hard work to learn the content, and it shows on his assessments as well as when he and I discuss science topics. I'm super excited to see what the future holds for him! I hope he is enjoying this class as much as I enjoy him as a student and human." Great work, Douglas!
Lana includes everyone, is a hard worker, wants to do well, and encourages her peers to do the same. She has a very happy spirit that everyone wants to be around.
She is always including others in a kind way. She is one to participate in class and provide meaningful examples for discussions. She is not afraid to stand up for what she thinks. She also shows great responsibility. When she is going to be gone she is on top of the work that needs to get done.
Carolyn sets an excellent example for others by showing great effort in her work. She is also helpful and kind to her classmates and all staff.
