This month, in honor of Principal Appreciation Month, we want to take a moment to thank one of our outstanding community partners, Di Campli’s Italian Ristorante, for their generosity and continued support of Midway ISD.
Di Campli’s donated 11 gift cards valued at $100 each to treat our principals, an incredible gesture of appreciation for the leaders who serve our campuses every day. Their thoughtfulness reminds our staff how valued they are by the community.
Di Campli’s has been a dedicated partner of Midway since 2021, investing in our schools in many ways, including sponsorship of our Showcase of Stars program. Owner Massimo DiCampli, married to a Midway graduate, Kristin Di Campli, has made it a priority to give back to the district in meaningful ways.
We are so grateful for partners like Di Campli’s, whose generosity makes Midway stronger and reminds us all that our community is what makes Midway great. Their support not only encourages our staff, but also ensures that we can continue to build a thriving school community together. Jennifer Douglas, on behalf of Di Campli’s, presented the gift cards to each principal.
