2008 Destination
Imagination Students Shine
We want to
thank the Destination Imagination teams for a spectacular effort at the
county competition, held March 15th. All three teams did an
outstanding job. The Hit or Myth team finished first in their category,
beating out several middle school teams in the process. The students from
the Hit or Myth team, who will go onto the state competition, include: Mrs. Davis, Team Manager, Kylah
Davis, Deondre Douglas, Naya Estep, Charlotte Nottingham, and Devin
Thrutchley. A special thanks to third grade teacher, Mrs. Bartolomeo,
School Sponsor, and to Mrs. Susan Nottingham, Parent Coordinator. This
marks the third year in a row that a team has gone to states under Mrs.
Nottingham’s direction. Congratulations to all for a job well
done! Backyard
Habitat Dedication Ceremony Local
officials will be on hand to dedicate the backyard wetlands habitat on
Wednesday, April 16, at 9:30 AM. Parents are cordially invited. Please see
Mr. Andrews, science resource teacher, on how you can volunteer with the
backyard habitat project. Soon, our students will be making great use of
this wonderful addition to our school. Fifth Grade
Recognition
Our
recognition of fifth graders’ completion of elementary school will take
place on Thursday, June 5, from
10:00-11:30 at our school. The fifth grade will be having a Joe
Corbi’s pizza fundraiser to help with their end of year promotions. See
your child’s teacher or the main office at school if you would like to
assist in any way. Middleton
Elementary Goes Green Middleton
Elementary will be starting a recycling program at school. Currently, we
recycle paper, but will expand that to include recyclable materials such
as cans, milk cartons, etc. We will have grade level competitions to see
which grade level can be the “green champion.” Stay tuned for further
details about this initiative. Mr. Richmond
and Board Supply Students for Success
We want to
once again thank Superintendent Richmond and the Board of Education for
replenishing us mid-year with school supplies. These supplies included
wipes, tissues, pencils, crayons, colored pencils, paper towels, etc. An
original shipment was sent at the beginning of the school year. These
supplies are much needed in the classroom, and just another way that Mr.
Richmond and the Board of Education supports our
school. Middleton
