Township honors Thorne Middle School cheerleaders; proclaims Volunteer Month and Autism Awareness Month
Summary
The committee recognized Thorne Middle School’s cheer team for winning the 2026 Shore Conference and read proclamations designating April 2026 as Volunteer Month and April 26 as Autism Awareness Month in Middletown.
The Middletown Township Committee opened its March 16 meeting by recognizing coach Lori Ward and the Thorne Middle School cheerleading team for winning first place at the 2026 Shore Conference middle-school cheer competition. Coach Lori Ward told the committee she has coached the team for about eight years and that Thorne has won first place five years running.
Mayor and committee members congratulated the team and invited families forward for photographs. The committee also read two proclamations for the record: April 2026 as Volunteer Month in Middletown and April 26, 2026 as Autism Awareness Month.
Committee members used their comment time to praise volunteer organizations, the fire department and EMS for service to the community. No public action was associated with the recognitions or proclamations; they were ceremonial matters recorded in the meeting minutes.
