Dear Middleton School District Patrons,


I am writing you today to notify you of some changes in the scope of our 21st CCLC funded programs in Middleton Schools. In 2008-2013, 21ST CCLC grants funded programs at 3 different sites(Middleton Heights Elementary, Middleton Middle School and Middleton High School). These sites served more than 500 Middleton School District students in the past 5 years with more than 5,000 hours of supplemental education programs, with untold volumes of academic and social impact for participants.  

This year two of our sites(Middleton Heights Elementary and Middleton High School) are going to transition off of 21st CCLC funding. The programs sustained at these two sites will continue in limited forms and information can be found by contacting the schools at the information listed below.

Middleton Middle School will continue with 21st CCLC funding in years 2013-2018. “Valhalla” is excited about the prospect of continuing to offer after school programming and if you are interested in learning more about “Valhalla” you can visit our blog at

Official Farewell!

School's out for the summer!  We have truly had an excellent year at the 21st Century Lounge (after-school program).  Lots of students have taken advantage of the Plato program to make up lost credits, recovering a total of more than 50 classes over the course of the year!  A huge thanks to the counseling staff for tirelessly combing through graduation requirements to see who needs what.  We repaired those stubborn pockets on the billiard table over and over, and someone even donated a new cue after ours started to show signs of wear.  Pretty much the only casualty this year was the ping pong table--thankfully it went down without any injuries to our participants.  We watched some movies, some Sponge Bob, played lots of computer games, did some homework, and just had an all-around great time.  Some students learned what propriety means, and maybe even why there's value in showing it.  Mr. Eck re-learned some algebra skills like using FOIL.  And so, it's with a little heaviness of heart that we say goodbye this time as the high school site of the 21st Century program will not be open next year.  We have enjoyed these last 2 years and thank all the participants and their families for the fun memories.  Goodbye for now, and may each participant's life be filled with success and happiness going forward!  Yours very truly, Mr. Eck
