Participate in the annual Run-A-Thon Fundraiser
Madison’s Run-A-Thon is back again! On Wednesday, Sept. 20 and Thursday, Sept. 21 (rain date is Monday, Sept. 25), Madison’s students and staff will participate in our biggest fundraiser this year.
One hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds go directly to Madison PTA. This supports programs such as Multicultural Day, Explore More Day, Cultural Arts, Field Day and many other wonderful programs.
Each participant will receive a Run-A-Thon t-shirt, generously donated by Bauer Dentistry & Orthodontics, and has a chance of winning exciting prizes including Madison spirit wear, movie passes, roller skating passes, dinner at Alfie’s Inn Restaurant, games, gift cards, Bowling Party, and much, much more!
Get your running shoes ready! If you’d like to volunteer for this event, please contact Debbi Gonzalez (debgonzalez2@comcast.net). Questions please contact Michele Triscik (mtriscik@prodigy.net).
Register for band and orchestra
Did you know that the District 200 instrumental music program is known throughout Illinois for its excellence?
During the first 2 weeks of school, 5th graders will see, hear, and try out the instruments offered for instruction. Families will have a chance to meet the directors, ask questions, rent instruments, purchase lesson books, and register students for band or orchestra. Registration nights are at Hubble and Monroe Middle Schools on Tuesday, Sept. 12 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. and at Edison and Franklin Middle Schools on Thursday, Sept. 14 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Feel free to drop in; allow about a half hour. The busiest times are from 5:00 to 6:30, when it may take a little longer.
If parents cannot attend these sessions, please contact the band or orchestra teacher from your school. Further information may also be available on teacher classroom pages on school websites. Students younger than 5th grade may also participate in large group rehearsals if they take private lessons outside of school. There is an $80 fee for elementary band or orchestra participation; this is adjusted for students who qualify for exempt or reduced fees.
Please contact the instructor for more information! The band director at Madison is Mike Klos at michael.klos@cusd200.org and the string orchestra director is Natasha Alley at natasaha.alley@cusd200.org.
We hope to see you at registration night!
Battle of the Books volunteers needed
Madison's Battle of the Books program will begin the week of Labor Day. Now that your kids are in fourth and fifth grade, it's harder to find volunteer opportunities where you can actually work with your child. Battle of the Books is a fun way to be with your child and get to know other fourth and fifth graders. Battle meets weekly during the recess portion of the lunch hour. Team up with a few of your friends and rotate weeks, or be with your group each week--the choice is yours. Each group reads 12-13 books. See the full list here. If you're interested in this wonderful opportunity, please email Janet Mathis today, janetmarkmathis@yahoo.com.
