January 24, 1848 - Gold is discovered at Sutter's Mill. The resulting gold rush brings thousands to California, but ruins Sutter in the process. Prospectors destroy his fields, butcher his livestock, and overrun his property. Just like the Giants did to the 49ers last week...

Keith Vollmer to Retire

After teaching at Midland Adventist Academy for over 41 years, Mr. Vollmer has announced that he will be retiring at the close of this school year. Midland was Mr. Vollmer's first job, and he liked it so well that he stayed and made it his last job. We have been richly blessed by his ministry at Midland and we are seeing the fruits of that ministry as several students that he has taught are now sending their children to Midland. Mr. and Mrs. Vollmer will still be "hanging" around as they attend activities that their four grandchildren, who are currently enrolled at MAA, are involved in.

We are putting together a Memory Book for Mr. Vollmer. Please send congratulations, a memory, photo, or story to: maa@midlandacademy.org by alumni weekend, February 10 & 11.

Midland's Got Talent - 2012 Edition

Midland’s Got Talent took place on Saturday night at Midland, with lots of parents, students, and friends in attendance. The evening included a dinner served by the Senior class of 2012. (Burrito, rice, chips/salsa and drink) plus desserts provided by the Junior class. Fourteen acts were on the program, including vocal numbers, comedy, piano solos, and some sleight of hand..

Board member Mark Craig, teacher Naomi Bruette, and Pastor Morgan Kochenower served as judges for the evening, and were warmed up at the beginning of the show by MC and funnyman, Matt "Z" Zacharias. The judges award the first place trophy to Kareena Hansen for her stand-up comedy routine. Second and third places went to Andrew Naumann (vocal solo) and Lily Burke (piano solo). 

A special thanks to the Home and School department, led by Travis and Tina Finnegan, for their leadership in this third edition of Midland's Got Talent. If you want to check out pictures of the various acts, here's a photo gallery for your review.

Sent in Your FAFSA Yet?

Seniors, the FAFSA is your first and most important step to getting the money you need to help you pay for college. This program is the application for U.S. government financial aid for college, including need-based Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), National SMART Grants, TEACH Grants and more.

Each year, the U.S. Department of Education provides over $100 billion in new education grants and student loans, but a survey done by the National Postsecondary Student Aid revealed that almost half the students who are eligible for federal student aid do not even apply. There are many reasons for this, but the bottom line is: that’s a lot of money left on the table.

So file your FAFSA as early as possible! Some federal financial aid is allotted on a first come, first served basis. File your FAFSA as soon after January 1 of each year as possible to ensure you are awarded the maximum amount of financial aid you are eligible for.

New Scoreboard for the Gym

Thanks to generous donors, Midland's gym now includes a second scoreboard. This will allow players and spectators to easily follow the score of the game no matter which side of the court they may be on. In addition, protective cages have been provided for both scoreboards.

As always, Midland is blessed with great support from the families in our community.
