Update from Dr. Hellrigel:
Hello Raiders,
The sirens have stopped and students are being released and buses are being loaded thank you for your patience and understanding as we take pride in keeping our students safe.
Have a good evening!
From Dr. Hellrigel:
Hello Raiders -
Out of abundance and precaution we have unloaded buses and have instructed our teachers and students to take shelter in our buildings until the tornado sirens stop going off in Green Valley. Our budlings are reinforced concrete and steel and the safest place for students to be at the moment. I will put out an all call when we've cleared the buses for home transport.
Thank you,
Todd Hellrigel
Midwest Central's Spanish 4 class took a field trip to see a Latino music and dance show by the talented Flamenco Ballet out of Miami, Florida. We saw everything from traditional Spanish flamenco to Cuban salsa to Columbian cumbia.
