MILLSTONE — The Millstone Township PTSA announced that it gifted more than $37,300 to the Millstone Township Middle School during the 2013-14 school year.

The organization also raised more than $9,600 in Scholastic book credit from its book fairs during the last school year. This money will be used for the middle school library and classroom libraries in the school, according to a press release.

The $37,300 has been used to purchase two indoor Rower Black Model D with PM5 monitor from Concept2; Smart SPNL- 6065 interactive flat panel mount on flat wall for the media center; Elmo TT-121 Document Camera; 20 iPads with cart and accessories; Camp Fairview trip 2014-15; school planners; awards for graduation; eighth grade “Diversity” day trip and presenter; 12 iPad covers with wireless keyboard; iTunes cards; eighth-grade trip shirts; and the NJ ASK breakfast, according to the press release.

The PTSA thanked everyone who supported the organization last year.

“We have a fun and exciting school year planned for our students, from dances to holiday door-decorating contests,” said Michele Stillwell, co-president. “Joining the PTSA is a great way to stay connected to your middle-school child without interfering with his or her growing independence. We are always looking for new members, including parents, teachers, staff and students, to chair the events the PTSA has planned for this year.”

The current PTSA Executive Board consists of co-presidents Michele Stillwell and Kristen Saker, Vice President Michele Bomba, Treasurer Jody Dona, Recording Secretary Lisa Pado and Corresponding Secretary Candace Colonna-Borgese.
