Student Council will be collecting money for the HopeKids Organization, whose mission is to
help young people battling cancer get out and have fun in various sporting events and special
activities. One of our own Middleton students who is currently battling a brain tumor is a part
of this wonderful organization. If you would like to donate, please send any monetary
donation to school anytime during the week of May 21st-25th. With your donation, your child
will receive a “Team Smiley” wristband and be an honorary member of Team Smiley. Team
Smiley is the name of the team that our Middleton student has formed to raise money.

 

Thank you for your support.

News from Ms. Feigal’s Music Class!

Some of my 5th grade students met with me and a videographer back in February to be part of
a videotaping project for Music EdVentures, Inc. The purpose of the video clips is to help
other teachers understand how to use certain strategies taught in the SongWorks Approach in
their own teaching. I am happy to announce that our clips were chosen to be the first ever
clips added to the Music EdVenture’s website! Follow the link below to see us in action!
There are four or five very brief video clips available.

May PTO News


We had a blast at the Middleton Spring Carnival, how about you?!  The Carnival is not only a fun event for families and students, it is also provides about one fourth of our annual budget.  This year we brought in approximately $9,000.  That money helps provide classroom “extras” for our teachers, technology items (such as SmartBoards and iPads), and funds other events during the year like the Art & Science Fair.  THANK YOU for helping to support the PTO by participating in the Carnival!

It’s hard to believe there are only 6 weeks left of school!  We’ve got a lot going on before summer vacation begins – read on for the details.

PTO METING:  Our final PTO meeting of the year is May 8th at 6:30pm.  We’ll be voting on the proposed budget for next year, and we’d love to hear your input.  We’ll also brainstorm ideas for topics to present at next year’s meeting.   Childcare provided.

PRAIRIE FIRE THEATRE:  Middleton will be rehearsing a production of BEAUTY & THE BEAST the week of May 7-12.  The performance will be on May 12th at 10am and we’d love to see you in the audience!  Check the Weekly Wire for information on pre-ordering tickets, and they’ll also be available at the door.

BOOK FAIR:  Our last Scholastic Book Fair of the year and it’s a good one – Buy One, Get One Free!  It will be held during school hours from May 21st-25th.  Information on volunteering will be coming out soon.

TWINS OUTING:  Middleton Day at the Twins will be May 26th, for a 1:10 game.  The Choir will be singing during the 7th inning stretch!  The lottery will be done this week.  You will be notified if you did not get selected for tickets.  If you don’t hear from us, be on the lookout for your tickets to come home the week of the game!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL:  June 6th is coming up fast!  We need a little help preparing a few special activities for that day.  If you’d like to help, please contact Ann Vance at annvancepto@gmail.com.

SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS:  It’s not too early to start thinking about school supplies for next year!  The Write Stuff is offering on-line ordering and payment for school supply kits.  See the attached “No Hassle Flyer” on how to order all of your supplies in just a few quick clicks!  Or, simply go to www.write-stuff.com and start shopping.  The kits will be delivered to your student’s classroom before school starts.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about what the PTO is doing.  And don’t forget to check our website for current information: www.yourmiddletonpto.org.

April monthly news

First of all, congratulations to all the students who participated in the Art & Science Fair!  It was so much fun to see the interesting science experiments and projects, and the beautiful and creative art.  We’ve got some amazing students at Middleton!

Do you have pictures from any events at Middleton this year?  Or some candids taken in a classroom?  We need them for the yearbook!  This is the last call for pictures!  You can send print copies with your student to school (you will get them back), or email them to Paula Zamarippa at przamarripa@msn.com.

We’ve got a busy month coming up – read on for the details.

PTO METING:  Our next PTO meeting is April 3rd at 4:30pm.  At that time we will be holding elections for the 2012-2013 school year.  We’ll provide an update on how the Spring Carnival preparations are going and what we have coming up before the school year ends.

WENDY’S NIGHT:  Treat yourself to a night out, and raise some money along the way!  On April 3rd the PTO receives 10% of all sales between 5-7pm.  We had a great turnout last month; let’s see if we can top it!

READING RIVALRY:  Students have been busy reading, and they get a chance to show-off what they’ve learned on April 4th.  The third graders will compete from 8:15am to 9:30am in the gym, the fifth graders will compete from 10:00am to 11:00am in the Commons, and the fourth graders will compete from 12:45pm to 1:45pm, also in the Commons.  Come out and cheer on the students as they participate in a friendly competition.

SPRING CARNIVAL:  In case you haven’t heard, the Middleton Spring Carnival will be held on April 14th from 11am-2:30pm.    Please join us for a fun day of games, food, silent auction, and much more!

  • If you’d like to volunteer for this event, you can sign-up online at www.mysignup,com/2012carnival or contact Tammy Stokes at jcmommy2@aol.com.  Just one hour makes a huge difference!!
  • We’re still looking for items to go in our silent auction and raffle.  Do you have a business you’d like to promote?  Donate a gift card or item!  Do you have a skill you could share?  Donate your time!  Hand-made items, consulting services – whatever your talents are, this is a great way to put them to good use.  Jamie Kuebler is organizing the donations – contact her at kueblerjamie@yahoo.com or 651-739-9769.
  • On a smaller scale, we need items for some of our games.  Again this year, we’ll be having a Pop Bottle Toss and Junk Food Walk, so please feel free to donate pop, candy or salty snacks.  Anything that would work for game prizes is appreciated, too!

We’ve got two big events coming up in May.

PRAIRIE FIRE THEATRE:  Middleton will be staging a production of BEAUTY & THE BEAST the week of May 7-12.  A flyer went home with students before Spring Break.  There’s still plenty of room, so let us know if you need another copy.  If you have any questions, please contact Shelly Lorence at smb3311@aol.com.

TWINS OUTING:  Middleton Day at the Twins will be May 26th, for a 1:10 game.  The Choir will be singing during the 7th inning stretch!  We’ll be doing a lottery again this year, so keep your eyes open for a flyer to come home soon!
