"Don't get twisted up about the LEAP test. You've got this!"

Midway Elementary teachers and staff believe in our 3rd grade students. Our third grade students are taking the LEAP 2025 test the week of April 29 - May 3. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast each day before testing. Ensure they are at school on time and ready to do their best. We know they are up to the challenge.

Ms. Ebony Cage, first grade teacher at Midway Elementary School, is facilitating a guided reading group to  challenge the students to find text based evidence of questions she posed to them.  Ms. Cage gives up her lunch time daily to eat with her students in the cafe.  She uses that time to continue to build relationships with them.

Ms. Donakey's 2nd grade students at Midway Elementary are dreaming of "Oh the Places They Can Go."  Ms. Donakey taught the children to make a dream board.  They used brochures from Tangi Tourism to write and draw about where they wanted to go.  Elysian Landrum, Devon McMorris, Brandon McKay, and Kylie Turner had fun reading and learning about places they could visit in Tangipahoa Parish, as well as the state of Louisiana.

Midway students were recognized for their high Accelerated Reader scores.  The girl and boy from each grade with the highest score received a trophy.  Pictured from left to right are as follows:  Mrs. Wanda Davis (Principal), Mrs. Ethel Gilless (Librarian) Addyson Damare (1st grade), Andrew Wallace (1st grade), Ellie Millet (2nd grade), Domonick McCoy (2nd grade), Nevaeh Pierre (3rd grade), Landen Brown (3rd grade), and Mrs. Jamie Mills-Jackson (Assistant Principal).
