MIDTOWN HOLIDAY HOME TOUR PRESENTED BY IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE
The 2022 Midtown Holiday Home Tour is almost here!
Kick-start your holiday season with family and friends by making plans to attend the tour on Saturday, November 12th & Sunday, November 13th. We're decking the halls of five remarkable homes with the help of local designers, landscapers, and shops. With unique classic cars on display outside of each home, there's something for everyone.
All proceeds benefit Midtown Indy's efforts to activate, connect, advocate, and revitalize the Midtown district.
Homes are open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Promo code EARLYBIRD saves you $5 through tomorrow, November 1, so don't delay! Order tickets at midtownindy.org.
The 2022 Midtown Holiday Home Tour is possible thanks to support from:
Homeowners: Sean & Meghann Roseman, Suzanne Davis, Tom & Lisa Willey, James & Megan Montague, and Rob & Ally Doty
The 2022 Holiday Home Tour Committee
P.S. We're still seeking a few volunteers! When you spend an afternoon volunteering as a home docent or car docent, we’ll provide tickets for yourself and one guest!
After gathering feedback from community meetings, staff meetings, and surveys, Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) released changes to the Rebuilding Stronger plan at an action session on Thursday, October 27. Updates to Midtown-area schools include:
Butler Lab School 55 will keep all 3 baseball diamonds intact while still completing the school addition. As a result, the construction timeline is lengthened by approximately 1 year.
To provide Butler Lab School access, Butler Lab 60 will serve Zones 1 and 4, while Butler Lab 55 will serve Zones 2 and 3. As a result, transportation costs will increase by an amount not yet determined.
James Whitcomb Riley 43 will remain K-8 through June 2027.
Families at merging or closing schools will receive a one-year transportation grace period. IPS will update the appeals process to include possible extended eligibility for these families.
All 6+ graders in closing or merging schools will have lottery priority for the '23-24 and '24-25 school years.
Impacted students who do not make a selection in the choice lottery by the end of the second Enroll Indy window will receive a default assignment.
Read the full list of adjustments on the IPS website.
