Our Thanksgiving Tradition

If you’ve been to a Midland Thanksgiving before, you know how special it is: experiential learning opportunities, music and drama performances, more turkey than you’ve ever seen in your life, and a whole lot of love and gratitude. Thursday is a community event where alums, parents, and friends are welcome. Friday, Saturday and Sunday we will host additional events for current students and families.
