Dear Middlebrook Families,
The Middlebrook Student Council would like to thank the school community for their contributions to our November Food and Essentials Drive! The items were delivered to the Trumbull Food Pantry this week, and they were extremely grateful for our generosity. Thank you for supporting this drive, and helping our community members in need.
In addition, we collected over $350 dollars on Veteran’s Day to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project supports veterans and service members who served in the military on or after September 11, 2001, and incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound during or after service. They strive to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.
Thank you for your support of this organization!
