With strong storms in the forecast this afternoon, MICDS is canceling all after-school activities today, May 8. This includes all extracurricular activities and athletic practices and games, both at home and away. The Middle School ASAP program and Lower School Extended Day program are also canceled. Please make arrangements to pick up your children at our usual dismissal time today (3 p.m. for Lower School, 3:15 p.m. for Middle and Upper School). Campus will be closed at 4:00 p.m. Please note: the Band Concert scheduled for this evening will be rescheduled for tomorrow night, Thursday, May 9, with the 6th/7th Grade Band Concert beginning at 6 p.m. and the 8th Grade/Upper School Bands performing at 7:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bernard Berry.

From the Desk of Jay Rainey – March 11, 2022

Earlier this week, I asked the following question of all our MICDS students, faculty, and staff by way of a brief online survey: “As you think about your plans for our upcoming spring break, what words immediately come to mind?” Each respondent could submit up to five words, and this is what they had to say:

“Fun” was far and away the most common response, with 109 submissions. “Break,” “sleep,” and “vacation” were tied at 60 submissions apiece, followed by “family,” “beach,” “freedom,” and “friends.”

Whatever your own spring break plans and happy word associations, I hope that you and your family return to MICDS at the end of this month rejuvenated and excited as we look forward to the final nine weeks of our school year together.

Always reason, always compassion, always courage. Happy spring break!

Jay Rainey
Head of School
