PTO Budget & Donations
Historically, the PTO has requested donations from families during its sale of student planners, spirit wear, and binders during school assessments. Unfortunately, parents (including the PTO board) are not allowed in the building, due to the new Covid-19 safety protocols.
The PTO budget and sponsored events will be modified as we figure out new ways to support our teachers and students. We know that the PTO will have expenses associated with technology, software licenses, supplies, winter gear, and other miscellaneous needs throughout the year. We ask that you consider donating via this secure site to ensure that we have the funds to support our Middleton community during this upcoming school year. To donate, please click here.
Reading Rivalry
Reading Rivalry is an optional, PTO-sponsored event. Teams form a reading club, read a variety of books, and participate in a competition about those books. The intent is to foster a love of reading, introduce the students to books they may not otherwise choose, provide opportunities to work as a team, and to have fun! The competition unfortunately was cancelled this year, but we encourage our readers to finish the books they had planned to read for the event.
For study guides and more information on the books, check out the Reading Rivalry page.
