Way to go Middletown! Last week was a big week for our playground fundraising efforts. With both the Skate To Play and the Dig To Play taking place, we all came together and came one step closer to making The MES Playground a reality. We do not have offical totals at this time, but we would like to share some preliminary amounts that these two great events raised.

On Thursday at Skate Frederick, we had 85 skaters on the ice throughout the evening. We also had Keyote from the Frederick Keys come join us in the skating fun! Thanks to all of the families that came skating, we were able to raise $445 dollars for the playground.
Another great part of the skate night was that Roy Rogers held a MES Skate to Play Night for our cause and donated 25% of proceeds to the playground fund. We would like to thank the families that came out to dinner after the skate. We would also like to thank ALL of the families that didn't come to skate, but came out to Roy's for dinner! We do not have a total for the Roy Rogers part of the evening, but we will get that to you as soon as we know!


Our Dig To Play fundraiser also came to an end on Thursday. Once again, we do not have an offical total as of yet, but the numbers are very impressive. Thank you to EVERYONE who went out and helped sell those plants and seeds. In all, we had over 200 separate orders raising approximately $2,900. We will keep you updated as to when your orders will be available for pick up.


The staff and students would like to extend a very big thank you to everyone who has helped out in anyway as we continue to raise money to improve our school's playground!
