THANK YOU!

Dear Dash & Bash Sponsors, Community Partners, and Volunteers,

 

THANK YOU!

 

On behalf of the Madison PTO, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make our 2026 Dash & Bash on Friday, September 25 such a wonderful success!

An event like Dash & Bash simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. To our generous sponsors, thank you for investing in Madison School and helping us create a memorable event for our students and families. Your support allows the PTO to continue funding programs, activities, and experiences that directly benefit our children.

Most importantly, it was wonderful to see our Madison community come together for an evening filled with fun, laughter, and school spirit. Seeing the kids running the Dash, enjoying the activities, and spending time with their friends and families made all of the planning worthwhile.

We are incredibly grateful to have such supportive families, businesses, and community partners behind Madison School. 

 

Thank you for helping make Dash & Bash 2026 an event to remember!

With gratitude,

Madison PTO

Abby tried to wrap the dog

in Charleston Wrap galore,

but the pup kept wiggling sideways

and rolling right onto the floor.

 

Meanwhile her Santa ornament

blew a bubble big and bright,

and Abby declared him fabulous 

like he owned the Christmas night.

 

But in the end they looked adorable—

a girl, a pup, a bubble‑Santa crew—

proving holiday chaos is the best kind

when it’s shared by all of you.

 

Abby is showing off her Santa bubble gum ornament and matching Santa bubble gum wrap from Charleston Wrap!

 

Sale ends October 27!
