Middlesex Elementary School and the MES PTO hosted their annual Fall Festival Thursday, Oct. 28, on school grounds. More than 1,200 people were in attendance including students, families, staff and community leaders. Children dressed in their Halloween costumes while going around to more than 25 trunks collecting candy.

The Fall Festival became a MES tradition a few years ago and not being able to host it last year due to the pandemic, it made it even that more special for families to come out this year and enjoy some holiday normalcy. “It was a fantastic night which would not have happened without the help of the staff, community, families, PTO volunteers and of course the careful planning of this year’s Fall Festival Chairman Danielle Norris,” said MES PTO President Mary Lorenzino. “She did a phenomenal job.”
