THE MIDDLETON FUN RUN

Another Successful Event

We want to say a HUGE “Thank you!” to our students, staff, donors and business sponsors for this incredible Fuller Meadow/Howe-Manning fundraiser.

💲We passed our goal of 35K for field trips, transportation, curriculum enrichment and in school programs. This will directly impact our students and staff!

🥳We celebrated our community coming together and created unforgettable memories at our Middleton Fun Run.

Giving will remain open for one more week. If you’d like to continue to give and share, head to MYBOOSTER.COM today.

Thank you for your support of our school. We’re grateful for our Fuller Meadow/Howe-Manning community!

DAYTIME EVENTS WILL STILL BE HELD!

THIS WEEK IN CURRICULUM ENRICHMENT

4th Grade Field Trip

Fourth grades students traveled to the Mills on the Merrimack River in Historic Lowell to weave their own cloth on handlooms and inspect a cotton gin and power loom to identify how changes in technology affected work on plantations and in factories. They also explored the boardinghouse to find out how the Lowell “mill girls” spent their leisure time and what their “home” life was like. This wonderful hands-on field trip helps the students to fully understand the Industrial Revolution.

Teacher's Corner

Ms. Thompson currently has a Donor's Choose Project up to help provide LEGO Robotics kits in her classroom. Read below and click on the link to learn more:

Our 4th grade class is filled with young, eager minds ready to dive into the exciting world of robotics and engineering. To fuel their passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), we are seeking support to acquire LEGO Robotics kits.
