MIDDLETOWN -- New Holland-Middletown Elementary
District 88 received a check for $30,000 from the newly formed
community group NH-M Community Supports Education at the regularly
scheduled school board meeting on May 15. The group, a nonprofit
501(c)(3), was formed with the goal of mobilizing the NH-M learning
community behind a single goal: the updating of technology within
the school.

The community group has been raising money through a variety of
fundraisers throughout the year, including a Christmas Breakfast
with Santa in New Holland and a very well-attended 5K in Middletown.
To date, the group has raised over $50,000 and has been instrumental
in sending a team of teachers to Leyden High School District 212
over the summer to attend a symposium on using Google Chromebooks in
the classroom. In this picture, the board of education and
Superintendent Todd Dugan graciously accept an initial check for
$30,000, which will be immediately deployed in ordering Apple iPads
for the primary students and Google Chromebook laptops for middle
grades.
