Talent Show
Middleton's in person Talent Show is back! This morning's assembly was great and the kids did an awesome job. Our students sure are talented! Join us for the evening performance tonight at 6:00 pm.
Emergency Drills
All schools in our District will be participating in emergency drills April 24 - May 5. Middleton will be participating in a Secure drill. These drills are an essential part of our emergency preparedness, and help students and staff to practice specific protocols that would occur in an emergency situation. Practice drills such as these are also an opportunity for our administrators and staff to collaborate with the Sherwood Police Department. You may notice increased police presence if you are on/near campus during a lockdown drill, as SPD officers do participate in these drills.
During a Secure drill, students are brought inside the school building and exterior building doors are locked, while students and staff may continue to use hallways or other common areas.
For more information on District emergency response protocols and communication, please visit the SSD website here

Character Trait of the Month: Generosity
The Character Trait of April is Generosity! Generosity is the quality of being kind and generous. “Generosity is what keeps the things we own from owning us.” ~Anonymous. Generosity isn’t about what you have to give, it’s what have left, your availability to serve others. Let’s teach our kids to be generous, kids often think they have nothing to give, we can show them otherwise! If you need ideas for your child let PAC Volunteer coordinator Melissa Horton know @ middletonpacboard@gmail.com
