Message from the MPTO President

We hope your kids had a successful start to the school year! The Middleton Parent Teacher Organization (MPTO) is busy planning our fundraising efforts and curriculum enrichment programming, and we would love to have your help to make this year even more successful than the last. During the ’23-’24 school year, the MPTO raised nearly $75,000 for Middleton Public Schools. That money was spent on field trips (including transportation), in-school educational programs, teacher grants, and school community events. This investment in our schools is possible because of parent volunteers!

There are many ways to get involved in events we are holding to raise money for curriculum enrichment and other programs. One way is through subcommittees—descriptions and leads’ contact information are listed below. If you haven’t already indicated your interest in subcommittees through the website registration process, please email the subcommittee lead.

We are also hosting our first MPTO meeting of the year this Wednesday, Sept. 18 at Fuller Meadow library at 6:30 pm. During this meeting, we will discuss additional ways to get involved. We’d love to see you there!
