Message from the MPTO President

We've got some exciting curriculum enrichment programs and family events coming up! Candy Bar BINGO and our Annual Coin Challenge are back!

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Maggie's Farm last month - we raised $400 from this fun night out!

We are always looking for more parent/guardian participation! We would love to hear from you and welcome your involvement - at any level. Please feel free to email myself at jackie@middletonmapto.com or the board at ptomiddleton@gmail.com any time and save the date for our next MPTO meeting - March 20, 2024!

Author Visit - Signed Book Pre-Order

We are so excited to be bringing author Jennifer Swanson to Howe Manning students and to our 1st and 2nd graders at Fuller Meadow on March 7th for a special presentation.

Ahead of her visit, families are invited to order her books and she will sign them the day of the event. Books will be ordered through Cooper Dog Books in Beverly, MA. The deadline to order is this coming Monday, March 4th.

Please use this link to order books: https://www.copperdogbooks.com/jenniferswansonvisitHM In the comment field on the order page, be sure to include the student's name, grade, classroom, and the name for the book signing. Chose "pick up" for the delivery method so you don't pay shipping (don't worry - we will get the books to your student).

**Please note the updated time!** In an effort to minimize the overlap between our family event and the Middleton Planning Board meeting, we have slightly adjusted our timeline from what was originally communicated. Doors will now open at 5:45 PM, BINGO will run from 6-7:30. Registered attendees should feel free to come and go as needed.

This event is filling up FAST so be sure to sign up today: Middleton PTO - Candy Bar Bingo (middletonmapto.com)
