A BIG thank you to Student Council!! When injuries keep students out of PE, we now have an alternative to keep them active! Thank you STUCO!
Ms. Tyson chose the top 6 students who made outstanding STAR test gains this past month. Johnathan Adkinson gained 113 points, Andelynn Barnett gained 92 points, Vaughn Zimmerman gained 81 points, Aden Bell gained 75 points, Kate Rollo gained 73 points, and Jazmyn Ware-Jackson gained 64 points. GREAT JOB Raiders! Students were rewarded with a goody bag of treats and supplies Go Raiders!
Midwest Central Beta Club had the honor of serving a meal to the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House Peoria. These students worked hard to prepare a meal of salad, spaghetti, garlic bread, and brownies. Seeing the smiles on the families faces definitely made an impact on each of us!
The volleyball team decided to make it a marathon night last night versus Rankin, taking the Rebels to 3 sets in both Matches. The 7th grade came out on top and defeated Rankin in 3 sets. The 8th grade played their best volleyball of the season, but unfortunately dropped the 3rd set. All levels played incredibly hard and continue to improve. Way to go Raiders...keep up the hard work! It's paying off!!
Forman center 6th grade volleyball team defeated Tremont in their first game of the season!
The 7th grade boys basketball team fought with great effort in their Elite 8 state series game but ultimately fell short to Effingham St. Anthony. The boys finished their season with a 23 - 2 record and the coaches were overwhelmed by the support of the community as Midwest Central had by FAR the biggest crowd of the eight teams competing! Thank you for a memorable season!

HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK!!!
Midwest Central is lucky to have 2 amazing ladies in this district who go above and beyond for our students!!
Scholastic Bowl had their first match of the year this past Thursday. In a close one, Edison barely beat out the A team 125 to 100. Damian made his debut by getting 3 questions correct with support from Jaden, Cozy, and Brooklynn.
The B team, however, rallied back to win 105 to 60! Emily started the year strong with 3 questions correct with Cozy, Aydenn, and Brooklynn supporting as well.
The team looks to improve this week with their next match on Thursday at Dee-Mack.
The Lady Raiders volleyball team will host Rankin tonight. There will be a 4:45 B game; then 5:30 start for the 7th grade followed by the 8th grade.
In addition to the game, we are having a bake sale and silent auction in honor of Josslyn. She is a 5th grade volleyball player at South Pekin that was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We will be donating any funds raised to her family at the benefit game on Friday at South Pekin.
