What's happening at Madison Elementary the Summer
News from Dr. Wachel
It seems like just yesterday we launched this school year in August at our Meet the Teacher Night and here we are in the midst of year-end activities. Despite the fact that time has flown by, it is truly rewarding to reflect upon an incredible year that has been filled with learning experiences centralized around Madison's vision ~ Every learner, every day, in every way.
This year, our learning community has worked to address the needs of the whole child by providing a safe and healthy learning environment where students are challenged, supported, and engaged. Our learning community has been immersed in making connections, spreading kindness through our monthly kindness challenges, and focusing upon making Madison a safe and respectful place to learn and grow. Events such as our STEAM and Career Night, our Career Week, and grade level experiences (ie, the 4th-grade wax museum, 3rd-grade diorama exhibit, 2nd-grade habitat murals to name just a few) have helped create those family engagement opportunities that strengthen the learning bond between home and school.
To Madison's fourth grade class of 2019, our dream for you is to continue to cultivate your strengths, lend your creative talents, believe in yourself, persevere through challenges and strive to be the best person you can. It has been a privilege to be part of your elementary educational journey, and we wish you all the best as you enter the next phase of Middle School! As I say every day on the afternoon announcements, "Remember to be kind to one another because that is what truly matters in this world." We hope you come back and visit us because Once a Bear, Always a Bear!
In closing, I would like to celebrate our amazing Madison families for trusting our team to serve your child this year. Thank you for lending your kindness, generosity, patience, partnership and unwavering support. We are truly blessed at Madison!
My best wishes to you and your family for a safe and fun summer vacation! We look forward to seeing you again in August.
