Message from the MPTO President

Can't believe that it is the middle of September already! We are so excited to kick off this year with our new Middleton PTO newsletter. We hope this will be a useful platform for us to communicate with you about upcoming events, fundraisers and curriculum enrichment programs. Our plan is to have new content bi-weekly, but you can always find the most up to date information on our website: www.middletonmapto.com


Looking forward to partnering with the Middleton school community to help make this an incredible year for the students! Please don't hesitate to contact myself, or one of our board members, with any questions or suggestions that you have.

Treasure Chest Fundraiser

In a school year, the MPTO spends approximately $55,000 on field trips, in-school programs, donations, teacher appreciation, community events and other various school related expenses. We can't do it without your support! The Treasure Chest is an easy way to be sure 100% of your donation goes directly to the PTO!

Kindergarten Welcome Breakfast

On September 5th, while the kindergarten students settled into their new classrooms, we welcomed their parents / guardians! It was wonderful to meet so many families - some sending off their youngest child and others whose first child was heading to Fuller Meadow.  What a milestone day! 

Special thank you to Dr. Roberts and Dr. Morrison for sharing their thoughts and to the Kantorosinski Family for their generous donation of delicious Bagel World bagels!
