A big panther thank you to all 5th grade students who shared their art for this year's yearbook covers! We received so many fantastic submissions - the creativity and talent of our students truly shined!

We are excited to announce the results of our contest, Madison students voted for their favorite submission and the winners are... Alex Crist (front cover) and Alina Pacyga (back cover). Congratulations! 

Happy Mother's Day!

End of Year Madison Staff GiftCrowd

Can you believe the school year is almost over? Madison had an incredibly busy and engaging year! Please join to thank our classroom teachers, specials teachers, and the many wonderful staff members who support our students each day. This year, we’ll once again be using GiftCrowd to make gifting simple and seamless.

GiftCrowd, a simple and convenient platform, allows families to contribute online toward gift cards for any Madison teacher or staff member. Each recipient will then be able to choose gift cards from their preferred retailers - easy, flexible, and festive! A few things to think about, if you choose to use GiftCrowd:
~ You may choose to “gift” to whomever and however you wish. We kindly encourage families to prioritize classroom teachers, who work with our students everyday. Physical Education, Art and Music may have contributions from many families K-5, therefore gifting a smaller amount to a non-classroom teacher is perfectly appropriate.
~ As this is a collective, school-wide gifting effort, we have provided a comprehensive staff list to help streamline your gift-giving experience.
~While teachers/staff will see which families contribute to the collective gift, the amount you contribute will be private.

As always, these group gifts are completely optional and the monetary contribution is up to each family. Should you wish to contribute, please do so by Friday, May 29th by 9:00am. Gifts will be sent out electronically.
