Veterans Day Yard Signs

As part of the district's Veterans Day celebrations this year, we would like to extend our gratitude to those who have served with a custom "thank you" yard sign. With the help of staff and families, we hope to identify veterans in our community so they may receive a sign. If you know a veteran who would be comfortable with home delivery and lives within the Midview Local School District, please fill out this form. Members of the MHS Key Club will deliver signs the week of October 20-24. Signs will also be available for pick up at Trunk or Treat on October 29 and the Grafton VFW on November 3 from 5-6 p.m. (no prior registration required).

Library Cards for Midview Students

Exciting news! Your child will soon receive a FREE student library card from the Grafton-Midview Public Library. The card allows your child to borrow books, PG/G movies, music, and audiobooks, request library item deliveries to their school, access digital resources for homework, and register for library events. Note that the card has a limit of 5 items at once and cannot be used for equipment, games, kits or other objects. Families will be financially responsible for borrowed items and should monitor the items their child(ren) checks out. If you wish to opt out of this program, please fill out the following form.

East Believers will be kicking off the year with their first meeting next week on Tuesday, October 14th! The East Believers want everyone to feel like they belong. That means you’re welcome just the way you are! We are like a big family where we care for each other, listen, and have fun together.

Today, students got a special treat as they stepped outside their regular routine to enjoy an exciting BMX assembly held outdoors. The sun was shining and the energy was high, as everyone gathered around the setup area. The BMX riders wasted no time showing off their incredible skills—flipping, spinning, and launching into the air with breathtaking tricks that left the crowd cheering.
