Middleton PTO Newsletter - Volume 1, Issue 30, May 2024
Message from the MPTO President

I would like to start this newsletter by extending a heartfelt thank you to all our donors, volunteers, attendees, silent auction participants and members of the organizing committee for everything they did to make our 1st Spring Fundraising Gala successful. There was a tremendous amount of work that went into the night - but everything came together beautifully, and we raised over $13,000! If you attended, we hope you had a wonderful time - and if you weren't able to, I hope that you are able to next year!  


Teacher/Staff Appreciation week is quickly approaching, and we would love some parent volunteers to help us! If you would like to get more involved in what we are doing - let us know!  More detailed information on ways for everyone to participate are below!


The MPTO is looking for Board members and Committee Volunteers for next school year! Email jackie@middletonmapto.com if you are interested and plan to attend our next meeting on May 15th!
