Midvale Elementary Family Game Night

Our community is important to us as students. Being students at Midvale Middle, and being part of a MYP school, has taught us to always give back to our community,  Us students decided to give service back even if it was a little. We helped with the Midvale Elementary Family Game Night and wanted to share our experience.

Family Game Night was interesting to us because we've done different types of service, but nothing really like this. Many of us had to work doing different types of subject games.We also had to interact with families we have never seen before, which really tested some of our top BRICCCKs, especially being caring, communicators, reflective, and open minded. The games were educational and our goal was to teach something new. We also wanted to make sure they knew learning can be fun!

We showed up at Midvale Elementary and got divided into different sets of groups. Some of us had to do mostly math and reading, but we also had the chance to do active activities and also computer games. We went to our stations and the fun began when the kids arrived. Even though the game night only lasted 2 hours the experience lasted even longer.

Our goal was to teach something valuable, that the elementary students could possibly take with them.  We also learned something valuable as well . Helping and serving is a good way to give back to our community. We enjoyed the experience and giving back. Thank you Midvale Elementary for the thank you letters and for letting us help and try something new!

Fun Focused Learning

 As a sixth grader here at Midvale Middle, I absolutely love my core classes. Mrs. Goldberg (social studies on the greek team) always has the funnest lessons. we are always doing hands on activities, working as a group, and having enthralling discussions. I feel like this makes me remember the lessons better. During my classes, I feel included and happy, which is good.

An Awesome Moment

As an administrator, I try to walk through all of the classes in the grade level for which I'm responsible at least once every day. Today, as I walked through Mr. Ford's math class, I asked a student to explain to me what the class was studying, "Mean, Median, and Mode," the student responded. I looked at the student's paper, and asked a few questions about how he was determining mode. He started to explain it. Kohen, another student at the table, jumped in to help. Kohen, very excitedly, explained the process for determining mode. The other student thanked Kohen for his help.

After school, I saw Kohen in the office. I exclaimed, "Kohen, you were a rockstar in math today!" Kohen replied, "I know! My brain felt like it went to the gym!"

I love to see students' excitement and growth on a daily basis here at Midvale Middle School. It is my honor to serve as their assistant principal. Kohen, and the rest of our Midvale Family, make me love my job!

The Best Things about Midvale Middle School!!!!

The best part of my experience at MMS is the teachers. They are the most helpful teachers, along with the principal and the assistant principals.This year I have learned a lot, such as writing an essay, decimals, common conversions, and also the science chart called "The Periodic Table". The students at MMS these are also one of the things that are worth coming to MMS. It has been a great experience at Midvale Middle School for me.
