District Struck by Tornado Staff and Students Give Back

On Friday, March 31st, the Wellman area of the Mid-Prairie district was struck by an EF-4 tornado that devestated several homes and farms. The people of the Mid-Prairie community immediately banded together to support those who had been affected. On Thursday, April 6th, 211 Mid-Prairie High School students and 52 high school staff members helped with recovery efforts following the tornado. On Friday, April 7th, 261 Mid-Prairie Middle School students and 24 middle school staff members also helped with the cleanup. Students and staff helped to remove debris from yards and fields in several locations west and north of town. In addition to outdoor cleanup efforts, many MPHS students and staff prepared 34 freezer meals to be distributed to those still recovering. In the Mid-Prairie district, we strongly believe in giving back to the community that supports us every day.
