Middletown Township Partners with Bright Connections to Provide Free Tutoring Services to Students Impacted By  COVID-19 Pandemic

Middletown Township will be providing free tutoring services in core subjects through the Next Generation Support Program for residents enrolled in elementary school through high school beginning Saturday, January 21st.  

The Next Generation Support Program was created to help students who suffered from learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents who filled out the initial survey last summer had the opportunity to have their children assessed to see if they would qualify for the tutoring program.

MCG Beekeepers Donate Accessibility Equipment to Middletown Community Garden

MCG Beekeeper

Mayor Tony Perry and Clean Communities Coordinator Jessi Ticino pose with Antoinette Ingulli and check out the items she donated!

Earlier this week, Mayor Tony Perry and Clean Communities Coordinator Jessi Ticino met with community gardener and all-around busy bee Antoinette Ingulli to thank her for her generous donations to the Middletown Community Garden (MCG). Aside from being an avid gardener, Antoinette is a skilled beekeeper and was the driving force behind the MCG's beekeeping program. She and her volunteer “Bee Squad” dutifully tended to the honeybees as they pollinated flowers and vegetable plants within a mile radius of the community garden. The hives were such a success that the team harvested over 50 jars of honey, allowing Antoinette to purchase and donate garden carts, kneeling stools, and benches to the MCG. These items will provide accessibility for gardeners with mobility issues for many seasons to come!  

The beekeeping team plans to add more hives in 2023 and will donate the honey to local food banks, along with the weekly food donations from fellow gardeners.  A huge thank you to Antoinette and the Bee Squad for their hard work and generosity!
