Bloom ~ A Night to Benefit MCPASD Schools

Middleton Cross Plains Area School District Education Foundation, hosted our third Bloom cocktail event on November 14, 2024. we had a very successful event that will provide all students with the essential items they need to come to school ready to succeed. The fundraiser will support the district’s Caring Closets, Cardinal Nest, the Weekend Food program, and initiatives that fund school supplies, winter jackets and personal hygiene. Proceeds will be shared across all schools in the district, reaching more than 7,000 students.

Within the Middleton Cross Plains Area School District, 18% of students receive free or reduced price hot lunches. Students who come to school hungry, without a way to shower, without school supplies, clean clothes or other tools for success experience stress and find it difficult to learn. The Weekend Food program is a collaborative effort between five local churches in the district that provides a backpack worth of food, including breakfasts, lunches and a few snacks, for elementary and middle school students every Friday afternoon. Volunteers procure, pack and deliver the food every week, with the intention of continuing the consistent meals provided to students throughout the week. Caring Closets and Cardinal Nest offer high school campus students free, confidential access to essential items and educational resources. Located inside MHS, The Nest offers food, clothing, personal hygiene items, home essentials and school supplies. Visit MHScardinalnest.org to learn more about how The Nest supports our students.
