Welcome Back!

Welcome back to all the students, teachers and staff at Midtown. Here are a few tidbits to kick off the school year.

The first STAPL/PTO meeting of the school year will be held on Monday, September 14 in the multipurpose room. STAPL/PTO meetings are usually held on the first Monday of the month, but this month's meeting has been pushed back a week due to Labor Day.

With the new school year upon us, several updates have been made to the Midtown website as well.  Highlights include an updated staff list, a new school calendar and a copy of the school dress code.

Get that back to school spirit

If you can't wait for the new school year to start, you can get in the mood by listening to the last year's Midtown Academy Chorus' rendition of the Midtown Academy Song.

Midtown's Words on Wheels

For seven years, the Maryland Transportation Authority has sponsored the "Words on Wheels" competition. In the event, students from several Baltimore area middle schools write poems which are then given to students from MICA. The MICA students create paintings inspired by the poems, with the winning poems and painting made into posters that are placed on MTA buses as they go through the city.

Several MICA students have blogged about the poems they received and posted pictures of the paintings inspired by Midtown's poets, and the winning posters, three featuring poems from Midtown students, can be found on the MTA website.
