Starting 7 years ago, the ELA team presented a reading challenge to all 6th-8th graders at Mid-Prairie Middle School. This program encourages students to read a variety of genres, thus building their reading skills and appreciation for different styles of literature. This year the staff has joined the challenge to show students that reading is fun for all ages. So far, students and staff have read and submitted over 700 books. The staff is currently leading with a total of 2.55 books read per member.

Congratulations to our MPHS Students of the Week, Cadance Yoder and Jovi Evans! Cadance and Jovi were nominated by Mr. Cortum, "Both Cadance and Jovi are always very kind to other students and include them in all activities. They have really helped one of my students with his social skills and getting him out of his shell. They are always including him in things that they really don't need to, but it means a lot to him." Way to go, Cadance and Jovi!

Congratulations to MPMS 8th Grade October Student of the Month, Graci Hershberger! Graci has been going out of her way to include a student who knows limited English. She will ask to be this student's partner during group work and will help type things into Google Translate as the teacher instructs. Graci is always positive and happy to work with anyone. She's happy to help students who may need it.
