Summer Internship Presentation |
|
|
|
|
|
 Thanks to the continued support of a generous alumnus, Midland students have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to partake in an internship during the summer before their senior year. This past summer, William Johnston-Carter earned the scholarship, and spent six weeks at Interlochen in Michigan, studying film. Already an accomplished film-maker (he won a teen movie contest in his hometown last year), Johnston-Carter attests that he learned a great deal at the camp, refining his skills as a screenwriter and as an editor. Congratulations, William, and good work. To see the bulk of his work, search "William Johnston-Carter" on YouTube. |

A Hauntful Halloween |
|
|
|
|
|
Pumpkins, scary stories in the library, costumes, faculty brat trick-or-treating, and a Halloween Dance, all made for a riveting 31st! Nico, with his bunny Peter dressed up as a bee, was the best costume. Danny and John were the best couple, though no one really knows what they were. And Riley owned the best impersonation category, with his spot-on (and flattering!) take on Dr. Gelles.

Nearly 2/3 of Midland's families were on hand in early October for the 5th Annual Midland School Round Up. Round Up is a weekend that families come and see their kids in full Midland action, sitting in on classes, watching sports (way to go Mighty Oaks!), having wonderful bbq'd tri-tip, and having an old-timey dance in the Pole Barn.
