Dear North Families,

As we enter our winter break, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your incredible support and dedication. The achievements our students have already made this year are truly remarkable, and they reflect the strong partnership we share between home and school.

Wishing every family a joyful, safe, and healthy holiday season. We are excited to welcome our students back to continue our learning journey in the new year!

Warmest wishes and see you January 5, 2026,

We were absolutely delighted by the sweet and spirited performance of the Midview North first graders at their annual Christmas Program! Under the direction of our wonderful music teacher, Mr. Sandlin, the children filled the school with holiday cheer.

They sang beautifully, sharing classics like "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and everyone's favorite, "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer." A special moment was their heartwarming rendition of "This Little Light of Mine." Thank you to all the families and friends that joined us on Monday and Tuesday evening!

We are thrilled with the energy surrounding our PBIS program at North, as our students demonstrate their commitment to being Ready, Responsible, and Respectful! The Middie Bucks system is in full swing, and students are excitedly trading in their earnings for big rewards, including highly sought-after prizes like a Popcorn Party for Your Class, Morning Announcement Shout-Out, and Games with the Principal.

We also are enjoying celebrating student achievements through Positive Office Referrals! When a teacher nominates a student, they get the exciting opportunity to make a positive call home and share the great news directly with someone they love. We are looking forward to carrying forward this momentum after break!

This week, our students focused each day on empathy and giving back during the holiday season. They spent time creating heartfelt gifts for their families, writing letters to send to a local nursing home, and finding meaningful ways to spread kindness within our classroom community. Through these experiences, students learned that giving to others not only brings joy to those receiving but also fills our own hearts with happiness.

Our first grade students recently went on a vibrant cultural journey to Mexico as they explored the heartwarming holiday story, The Legend of the Poinsettia. The classroom was filled with excitement as the children learned about the "Flor de Nochebuena" and the beautiful Mexican traditions that define the Christmas season. We were especially honored to welcome a special guest, Mrs. Cooper, who joined the class to share her insights and help bring these traditions to life. Through engaging storytelling and colorful discussions, the students gained a deeper appreciation for how different cultures celebrate the spirit of giving and the beauty of the holidays.

At Midview North, we view attendance not only as a requirement but as a commitment. We want every student to feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to be in school every day. Consistent attendance is the foundation of learning and plays a vital role in helping students succeed both in the classroom and beyond. We're excited to shout out a student that has been showing up and giving their best!

December Attendance All-Star: Max Hemmingsen from Mrs. Close's kindergarten class

What is your favorite part of school? Recess time because I get to play and I like to learn about words.

Why is coming to school important? Because we have to learn stuff!

Thank you Max for showing up each day, giving your best, and being ready, responsible and respectful!

Years at Midview: This is my 29th year at Midview!

Phrase or motto I share with students: It's okay to feel your feelings

School Year Superlative: Fastest Book Shelver

Go to drink or snack at school: Hot Chocolate on cold mornings, water the rest of the time! Salty snacks to get me through the day!

I hope my students remember: I hope the students remember the fun stories that I read to them in Library.
