FUNDRAISING


 

Throughout the year, the MPTO sponsors several fundraising efforts. We know how important it is for children to be able to continue their educational experiences either outside the classroom by attending field trips or by engaging in an in-house program. **Please note: The PTO provides 100% of the funding for ALL field trips and programs at both schools. Without your past and continued contributions these enriching experiences would not be possible.**

 

Although our Treasure Chest does support a majority of these activities, in order to supplement what is not covered, we aim to sponsor fun and active ways for parents, and kids alike, to help contribute to their overall education. We do this by offering families opportunities to participate in a variety of fundraisers throughout the year - Square 1 Art, Penny Drive, Candy Bingo and Comedy Night, to name a few.

 

No matter what you are able to give, it is always appreciated.

 

If you’d like to contribute to the MPTO, please feel free to send your donation to school with your child in an envelope marked “MPTO” along with the Donation Form. If you prefer to make a donation on-line, you can do so by going to www.paypal.com and sending your payment to info@middletonpto.org.

 

Please Donate
When parents get involved in their children’s education, grades go up, test scores go up, children become more likely to attend better schools after high school, they have fewer discipline problems, and they’re less likely to use drugs and alcohol. This is supported by more than 500 independent studies about parent involvement!

 

If you cannot donate funds at this time, but you have a couple of free hours, see how you can contribute your time on the Volunteer page.


 

Treasure Chest

 

Your donation to the Treasure Chest will allow us to move forward with the planning of quality field trips and in-school programs your child will participate in this year, as well as accommodate the requests from teachers for learning materials that are not covered in the town’s school budget. Please make your donation to the Treasure Chest early! The earlier we receive your donations, the more effective we can be in planning for the year. The Treasure Chest is our biggest source of funding to our budget, providing almost 30% of the annual budget. Your donation is 100% Tax Deductible!
