Midway ISD highlights student achievements; child nutrition and extracurricular reports presented
Summary
Trustees spent part of the meeting recognizing state-level achievements in one-act play, UIL academics and athletics, and received reports from Child Nutrition (more than 1,000,000 meals served) and extracurricular/athletics programs showing broad participation and multiple district championships.
The board opened the meeting with an extended recognition segment celebrating students and staff across academics, fine arts and athletics. Highlights included Midway High Schools one-act play advancing to the UIL 6A state meet and finishing third in Texas; UIL academic qualifiers and UIL science third-place finishers; and multiple athletics achievements including a 35-6 softball season and repeated state tournament appearances.
Tanya Lee, director of Child Nutrition, introduced her team and reported the program served more than 1,000,000 meals this year while outlining student engagement, manager training and compliance preparations for an upcoming AR review. Brad Shelton summarized athletics seasons, named state and regional qualifiers, and noted roughly 40% of high school students participate in athletics while middle-school participation is higher.
Board members praised coaches, staff and volunteers and invited the community to continue supporting student activities. The recognitions and reports were informational and did not require board action; trustees moved to the business portion of the meeting afterward.
