  • Tuesday - DELAC Meeting (University)
  • Thursday - Sequoia Middle School Parent Information Night (6:00 PM, Sequoia Gym)
  • Friday - Student Council sponsored Madrona Spirit Day!


  • Student Council and PTA Toy Collection - 11/28/2022-12/15/2022

Mustangs, we have three weeks on campus before we begin our winter break. With that in mind, let's remember to treat all of our fellow students and adults on campus with respect. Treat others the way you would like to be treated; Madrona should be a welcome place for all to learn and grow.


To the entire Mustang community, let's enjoy the last few weeks of 2022 together!

With Mustang Pride,


Mrs. Mandell
