Stuff-A-Truck 2022 a Huge Success!
Our Madison community continues to amaze! Thanks to all who donated to this year's Stuff-A-Truck event. Ten schools in CUSD200 participated and gathered a total of
10,300 pounds of food for People's Resource Center! Our community is truly wonderful – "neighbor to neighbor" in action!
Also, a very special thank you to Madison Cares committee chair Heather Graf for organizing this wonderful initiative. We look forward to seeing you again next year for Stuff-A-Truck 2023!
All are Welcome: PTA Meeting, November 17
Please join us November 17 for a general PTA meeting - in person or virtual! WWSHS Key Club volunteers will be on hand to entertain your children (toddlers through middle schoolers welcome). Enjoy snacks and giveaways while you learn about our fundraising strategy and more. Watch Facebook for a full agenda soon!
Veterans Day at Madison
As in years past, Madison Elementary will continue our growing tradition to host a drive-by parade route to honor our United States Veterans.
Do you have family members, neighbors, coworkers, and friends that were in the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, Coast Guard, or Marines? If you know someone that served in our military, ask them to be our honored guest on
Friday, November 11, and to RSVP TODAY so we can be prepared to honor them appropriately. The parade route will begin at 11:00 AM. RSVP by email at
brenda.davis@cusd200.org or call (630) 682-2095.
Additionally, we will be taking up a collection for our local Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans in Wheaton. We will be accepting donations of the below until November 11. Students can place them on the tables in the front hallway. Your generous donations are very appreciated!
