Message from the MPTO President

Thank you to all the kids who brought in change for the Coin Challenge.  Last week we raised over $1,400 and we can't wait to see the totals for this week. Winners are below! 


The year seems to be going by so quickly - but we still have a lot of exciting programs and events that we are planning for over the next few months.  If you would like to get more involved in anything we are doing - let us know!  Our next MPTO meeting is April 10t and you can email jackie@middletonmapto.com or the board at ptomiddleton@gmail.com any time.  


We are so excited about our upcoming Gala on April 25th.  The donations that have come in are really incredible and the event itself is going to be a fantastic time.  We'll be sharing auction information soon but encourage people to get tickets before we end ticket sales on April 10th.  You don't want to miss it!! 

Good luck to the 5th & 6th graders with MCAS next week!
