During the school’s annual Winter Holiday Sing-Along, Midway Elementary celebrated the 10th anniversary of the writing of the school’s song “The Midway March.”

Mallory and Cameron Jones wrote the lyrics of the song 10 years ago when Mallory was a first-grader at MES and Cameron was a fourth-grader. They returned to MES in December along with their parents, where they were presented with a framed set of documents chronicling the history of “The Midway March.” Copies of those documents will soon be on display at the school.

Are you your school’s biggest fan? Have you ever painted your face, gotten up before the sun rises or yelled until you lost your voice all in the name of college football? If you said yes to any of these your school needs you now!
