Mid-Del Schools will be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

As we honor Dr. King’s legacy, we reflect on his powerful words and the role education plays in shaping thoughtful, compassionate leaders:

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

We look forward to welcoming students and staff back on Tuesday as we continue this important work together.

Mid-Del Technology Center's student organization, CTSO, chose to "Pack the Pantry" as its community service project this year. Cindy Counts and Lauren Holmes of our MDTC, facilitated the drive with the student leadership program. The Cybersecurity Students took the lead in collecting, organizing, and delivering the food items to the Mid-Del Schools Supplemental Feeding Program. Mr. Minard's class also donated $1,000 to pack the pantry with frozen items, fresh fruits, and vegetables. A special thank you for helping Sleigh the Holidays!

We are incredibly proud to announce that Valentina Jimenez, a student at Soldier Creek Elementary, has been selected as an Elementary All-Stater for Choir—the only elementary student in Mid-Del to earn this honor in many years!

Valentina auditioned among 2,000 students from across Oklahoma and placed in the top 50, competing alongside both elementary and middle school students. She will now perform at the Oklahoma Music Educators Association (OkMEA) Conference in January.

Her choir teacher shared: “Valentina’s gift for musical excellence is matched only by her remarkable character… her dedication, hard work, and passion for learning have set her apart.”

And in Valentina’s own words: “What I love about singing is that I can just express myself with my words.”

Her talent, spirit, and positivity represent the very best of Mid-Del, and we can’t wait to see her shine on stage. Please help us congratulate Valentina on this extraordinary accomplishment!

For 38 years, two incredible educators have been changing lives in Mid-Del Schools. Today, during American Education Week, we are proud to recognize Mrs. Anita Keith and Mr. Kyle Holland—the longest-serving educators currently in our district.

✨ Mrs. Keith shared:
“I still come to work because I love kids. When I'm not around them, I miss them. I need to have a purpose, and I believe this is my purpose.”

✨ Mr. Holland shared:
“What keeps me coming back is that moment when a student finally ‘gets it.’ When their lightbulb turns on and they get excited about learning—especially in science.”

Their dedication spans nearly four decades of passion, purpose, and unwavering commitment to our students.

38 years of impact. 38 years of inspiration. 38 years of purpose. Please help us celebrate these remarkable educators!

We were honored to welcome Oklahoma State Department of Education Member Becky Carson to Schwartz Elementary today!

Mrs. Carson read to Mrs. Trent’s and Ms. Youngblood’s second-grade classes and spent time visiting with our teachers about their students, their classrooms, and the day-to-day experiences of Oklahoma educators.

Dr. Cobb also provided Mrs. Carson with a tour of the school, giving us the opportunity for meaningful one-on-one conversations. We loved the message she shared with our students about the power of words and how they can either help or hurt others, an important reminder for all of us.

We extend an open-door invitation to Mrs. Carson and all members of the Oklahoma State School Board to visit any of our Mid-Del schools. We hope to see you again soon, and thank you for spending your day with us!

We are encouraged by the positive direction we’re seeing in public education and grateful for leaders who take the time to connect with our schools and students. #mdpurpose #OneDistrictOneFamily #OSDE #wordsmatter
