After a busy year, the staff with take a break from publishing over the summer.

Dear readers,

This year, the Midway has strived for consistent, ethical and accurate reporting along with comprehensive coverage to produce a paper that the Lab community can proudly call theirs. The Midway branched out more in the Lab and Chicago communities, covering diverse and nuanced topics.

The Midway is constantly evolving, this year most evidently seen by our extensive story content and social media coverage. We are pleased to see how the Midway has developed and we look forward to continuing its evolution for the 100th edition.

After a busy year, the staff will take a break from publishing over the summer except in the event of breaking news. 

We encourage U-High students to use credible and trustworthy sources to stay informed this summer.

Sincerely,

Jaya, Chloë, Clare
