The University of Iowa Homecoming festivities included three different Mid-Prairie faces in the Homecoming parade and home football game. Megan Uden (MP Middle School Band Director) and Matthew McClellen (MP Alum) both participated in the University of Iowa Alumni (Fossil) Band. They were able to join the University of Iowa Marching Band to celebrate the festivities. Logan McClellen is a freshman this year in the U of I Marching Band.
This past summer, around 30 Mid-Prairie students attended a fine arts-focused camp. These camps ranged from Drum Major Marching Band camp, Speech Improvisation camp, Broadway camp in New York, acting in Greece, vocal and acting camps at the University of Iowa and ICON, Dorian Camp at Luther College, and singing in cathedrals in England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The MP Fine Arts Boosters highly encourage students to strengthen their skillsets in all areas, and provided almost $5,000 worth of scholarships to these students.

Congratulations to MPHS Student of the Week, Gwen Wunderlich! Gwen was nominated by Mrs. Stutzman, "She should be recognized for many things, but at the end of S1, her grade wasn't where she wanted it to be. So, she put in the extra work (extra study time at home and during Hawk Block) and reached the grade she worked for. AND she has continued the hard work into S2. Great job, Gwen!"
