Help make a difference
Help us "Stuff a Truck" with People's Resource Center to reach their goal of collecting 40,000 pounds of food. We will be collecting healthy non-perishable/non-glass food items to donate. Fill a plastic or paper bag and drop off at the school office between October 19-25. On October 27 the 5th grade students will help "stuff the truck" with our donations. Questions? Please contact Amy Angolkar at madisoncares@madisonschoolpta.org
P.E. happenings
The P.E. department is seeking 4x6 photos of Madison students playing sports/fitness/Lego activities for the P.E. hallway. Categories include: running, baseball/T-ball/softball, soccer, golf, football/cheerleading, basketball, Legos and miscellaneous (swimming, hiking, etc.). Please label and send us your photos!
All K-5 students will be roller skating during their P.E. time the week of October 23. Each student will need to bring in $7 cash for equipment rental. Students are not allowed to bring in their own skates, but helmets and wrist guards are required and may be brought from home. This fun activity requires help from parents. Please consider volunteering your time.
Please help your child remember gym shoes and socks every day for P.E. Students also may bring in their own goggles for throwing games.
Questions? Please contact your P.E. teacher -- Mr. Cortesi, Mr. Fry or Mr. Spontak.
Order Butter Braid
Our delicious Butter Braid fundraiser will be starting on October 18 and will run through November 1. Look for order forms coming home soon in your child's backpack. There will be samples available for tasting at both conference nights, so be on the lookout to try these delicious breads if you haven't done so already. You don't want to miss out!
Please direct questions to Kelly Stykowicz (kperryman@hotmail.com).
General Mills Box Tops for Education Challenge
Please save General Mills Box Tops and send them to the LLC. Madison earns 10 cents for every General Mills Box top. Thank you to Mrs. Spires for heading up this effort. Last year we purchased many copies of the new Rebecca Caudill, Monarch, and Bluestem Award Book Nominees.
