Info for Students

The Cardinal Nest is a room at Middleton High School where MHS students who need a little extra help can get daily necessities such as food, personal hygiene items, clothing, and school supplies.

All students are welcome at the Nest.

We trust that students who do not need the items in the Nest will respect our mission to provide essential items for students in need.

Students are encouraged to visit the Nest once per week. While you’re technically allowed to come more often, we ask that you limit your visits so that all students have access to the items they need.

When you come, please take only what you truly need for the week.

The Cardinal Nest is in Room 1154 and is open Monday through Friday.

You can also submit a Special Item Request with the button at the top of this page.

A Days: Lunch & Advisory

B Days: ASR 1 & ASR 2

You may also ask any MHS staff member to take you to visit the Nest.

• There is not a limit on food to prepare for home.

• We do not provide food as snacks for during the school day.

• Toiletries, school supplies, home essentials and clothing are limited to one item/type/week. For example, one shampoo, one toothpaste for one week.

We have paper & plastic grocery bags in the Cardinal Nest.

Please use the Special Order Form! Thank you!

You are welcome to keep your bag at the MHS Front Office and pick it up at the end of the day.

We love suggestions!
