Slide 2 The Middie Mile From Here to There with Pride Slide 3 Relationships The secret in education lies in respecting the student. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Slide 4 My Middie Voice Throughout this and future Middie Miles you will see a few excerpts from students. Some spelling and grammar errors were fixed to improve readability. Formatted for printing, there were 99 pages of comments! Our students had a lot to say about pretty much everything. The comments will be denoted by the My Middie Voice sound icon above. The data will be emailed to your principal soon for sharing with the staff. Slide 5 Google Tip Want to learn more?

Nobody really likes taking a 2 and a half hour test and so I just think when it comes we just need to learn what we need to learn and not worry about it until it actually comes and not be pressuring us about it.
