Middlesex Middle School Magazine Drive

Annual Magazine Drive runs through Tuesday, Oct. 5. The school's major fundraiser directly supports student programs, club activities,  intramural sports and school trip scholarships.

In addition, this year magazine subscriptions may be donated to wounded U.S. troops through the "Gift of Gratitude" program.

Subscriptions can be sent to either wounded soldiers at Walter Reed's Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., or to two Veterans Affairs Connecticut (VACT) hospitals with six outpatient clinics in the state.
