Teacher Recognition Continues

 

More and more, our teachers are being recognized for the wonderful work they do in the classroom. This month, we have been informed that three teachers have received awards in their field. Ms. Mary Rodgers, Grade 5 teacher, has been named SMECO Elementary Math Teacher of the Year for Charles County. Mrs. Robin Riddick, Grade 1 teacher,  has received the annual Walmart award as Teacher of the Year. She was nominated by a parent of one of her students. Finally, Mrs. Leslie Otten has received the Merit Award from the Maryland State Department of Education’s Minority Achievement Committee for her work in closing the minority achievement gap in third grade. The three teachers are well deserving of their award, and serve as representatives of all of the teachers at our school who strive to do the best for their students.

 


Middleton Students Send Valentine’s to Troops Abroad

 

In keeping with our ICARE theme, some students sent Valentine’s Cards to the troops stationed in Iraq. As a result, a flag that was flown over the American Embassy in Baghdad on February 22, 2006 has been presented to our school. We will be observing this special relationship our students have with the troops by proudly displaying the flag in a showcase.

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.

 Fifth Grade Recognition

 

Our recognition of fifth graders’ completion of elementary school will take place on Monday, June 5, from 9:00-10:30 at Middleton Hall off of Renner Road in Waldorf. The PTO will be working with fifth grade parents on special recognition for these students as part of the proceeds earned from the Spaghetti Dinner held in February. See your child’s teacher or the main office at school if you would like to assist in any way. Hopefully, we can all come together to make these final activities for our fifth graders something special.


Accelerated Reader Students Shine

 

We are fully implementing the Accelerated Reader program at our school this year. Students can read an AR book and take a quiz on the book and earn points for their correct answers. These books are found in the media center and in the classrooms. Students can take the quizzes in class, at the computer lab, or at the media center.

The top students in the school are as follows: Elizabeth Steinbach, Kayle Cossa, Chauncey Barham, Heather Tippett, Kyre Combs, Justin Ryan, Brandon Alvey, Kha-Ai Tran, Jaevon Hardy, and Tarar Richardson.
