Do you have a child attending Middletown High School? If yes, please consider attending this Thursday’s Partnership/PTA meeting. There are 1,350 students currently enrolled at MHS. Would it surprise you to hear that 4 non-officer parents attended last month’s meeting? Yes, 4. We had a total attendance of 8. There were 4 Partnership/PTA officers and 4 parents. I am shocked at the lack of involvement by parents of students at the high school level. The meetings are informative and cover a wide range of topics. We do not spend time fundraising and only a few minutes are spent on PTA business. We have speakers at each meeting and I can honestly say I have never left a meeting feeling like it was a waste of time. Most often I leave feeling like I learned many things I never knew and I wish more parents were there to hear the things I heard.

Thanks for posting this! A monthly reminder the week before the meeting would be great to have, esp. with an agenda and/or notice of special events.
I hope that others will send in school-related events to be posted on the Eye.
