Fun Run
The Middleton Fun Run will take place on Friday, September 23 and includes our PreK-5th grade students. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we appreciate your support! More information will be sent home with your student in today's Friday Folder. Families are invited to attend and cheer for their student. We will have several check in tables down on the field. Parents should visit one of the tables to sign in and receive a visitor sticker. We are looking forward to this fun event!
