Looking for a Few Good Volunteers
The PTA is in need of volunteers for a few key positions to kick off the new school year:
- Meet and Treat Chair and Volunteers (Need at least 2): Help coordinate our big back to school event on August 15! Pass out treats to hungry students and help parents find their way around Madison and get to know other families.
- Communications (Need 4): Keep everyone up to date on PTA happenings by helping to manage our Google Apps (primarily Google Drive and email accounts) and website. Work closely with the Madison Memos editor and PTA Secretary to post important announcements to Facebook. Most of the website and Google updates occur over the summer/at the beginning of the school year.
- New Family Welcoming (Need 10): Give a warm welcome to new Madison families by delivering Madison yard signs on August 16.
- Spirit Wear (Need 3): Influence the fashion of Madison students by coordinating the spirit wear shop - typically open at the beginning of the school year and again around the holidays. Coordinate the design, order, distribution and sale of Madison Spirit Wear.
- Picture Day (Need 2): Help things go smoothly on picture day in late September. Escort students to photo session. Chairman acts as liaison between vendor and Madison School. Helps ensure timely delivery of photo packages typically by late October.
We also appreciate any interest you have in the following committees! (To read more about each committee, visit the Madison PTA website HERE). You can either sign up for a specific committee or in an as-needed role, and we'll be in touch to help you find the right fit!

Looking for a SIGN to Volunteer? Here's Your Chance!
ISO Madison Signs
We're so glad you love your Madison signs, but we try to reuse them from year to year. If you still have one, please return it to the PTA mailbox (inside the front office) so we can distribute them to new students in the fall. No questions asked ;)
