Cristo to Receive Special Wish Through Make-A-Wish Oklahoma Cristo a brave 16-year-old, Del City High School student, battling Cystic Fibrosis is about to have his most heartfelt wish come true, thanks to the generosity of Make-A-Wish Oklahoma. This incredible moment is part of the organization’s ongoing mission to bring joy, hope, and inspiration to children facing serious health challenges. Cristo who has shown immense courage throughout his medical journey, will be granted a special wish that will bring a sense of joy and excitement to their life during a challenging time. His wish is to travel to Hawaii, where he and his family will explore the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Today, we had the honor of celebrating Cristo by surprising him and his family with the exciting news that their trip is happening this week. While his mom was already aware of the details, today’s wish celebration made it extra special. A big thank you to Del City High School for helping coordinate the surprise at today's Oklahoma Association of Student Council's District 9 meeting. All 13 high school student councils personalized signs and added their support of Cristo, making this celebration even more magical and unforgettable. (Thank you District 9!) “We are incredibly grateful to be part of making Cristo’s wish come true,” said Lucy Fusselman, Development Officer at Make-A-Wish Oklahoma. “Every wish we grant is a reminder of how powerful hope and happiness can be in a child’s life. We are honored to support Cristo and their family during this journey.” The wish will begin on Friday, February 28th, 2025. It will be an unforgettable vacation for Cristo and his family, as they create lasting memories together. This wish would not be possible without the support of our generous donors, who help make these dreams come true. Their contributions bring hope and joy to children and families facing challenging times. We are deeply grateful for their continued commitment to making a difference in the lives of our wish kids. Make-A-Wish Oklahoma continues to be committed to bringing hope and joy to children with critical illnesses, one wish at a time.

As part of our #PublicSchoolProud series during Public Schools Week (February 24-28, 2025), we are honoring the essential contributions of our bus drivers at Mid-Del Schools. Serving as the first and last point of contact each school day, our bus drivers play a pivotal role in ensuring student safety and setting a positive tone for learning. Each morning, our bus drivers welcome students with warm smiles. Safety is paramount in the responsibilities of our bus drivers. They diligently adhere to safety protocols, ensuring that students are transported securely to and from school, providing peace of mind to parents and staff alike. We extend our deepest gratitude to our bus drivers for their unwavering dedication and the positive impact they have on our students' lives. Join us in celebrating and thanking our bus drivers for their invaluable contributions to the Mid-Del Schools community during Public Schools Week. #PSW2025 #mdpurpose

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 Good afternoon Mid-Del - I hope you've all been able to stay safe and warm these last couple of days. Things are looking up. We aren't supposed to get any more precipitation, and tomorrow morning's wind chill should only dip down to negative five! Yeah, that's pretty bad still. The roads are still sheets of ice. Our parking lots and sidewalks are a mess. Hopefully tomorrow, we will have a chance to start clearing some of the slick areas. Because of all of this, we will have another Remote Learning Day tomorrow, February 20, 2025. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we will be able to be in school Friday. Until then, stay inside if there's any way you can. Don't take any unnecessary risks. We'll get back to teaching and learning soon enough. Sincerely, Dr. Rick Cobb

This afternoon, Meagan Bryant, our Director of Counseling and Mental Health, had the opportunity to meet with the Midwest City Police Department to kick off an exciting collaboration for our students’ well-being. Together, we’re planning how the new MWCPD Crisis Intervention Response Team (C.I.R.T.) can help address the mental health needs of our school community. This fall, the MWCPD was awarded a $158,074 grant from the State of Oklahoma and District Attorneys Council to create this team to help people in our community experiencing mental health crisis and one of their focus points is supporting the students in Mid-Del. Sergeant Trae Fisher and Officer Taylor Wise were recently assigned to this team, led by Lieutenant Jeremy Zuniga, and already have made huge strides in supporting the mental health needs of our community. We are incredibly grateful for our community partners, like C.I.R.T. members, as well as MWCPD Lieutenant Carissa Southern, who step up to support our students and provide the essential resources they need. It’s through these partnerships that we can make a real impact on the mental health of our students. #mdpurpose #StrongerTogether #CommunitySupport #MentalHealthMatters

This afternoon, Dr. Cobb participated in a dynamic round table discussion hosted by Rose State College’s Center for Civic Engagement. The panel tackled possible new state legislation requiring Oklahoma school districts to implement policies banning phones in schools.

Thank you, Rose State College, for hosting this important discussion! #mdpurpose
