September is Suicide Prevention Month
4th Grade Musical
“We're off to sail the rollicking sea, pirates all are we!” But ARRRR, and shiver me timbers! There's a stowaway on board! Perhaps the King of the High “Cs” will know what to do. Join this salty crew of colorful scallywags when Bluebeard, Yellowbeard, Whitebeard, Purplebeard - well, you get the picture - along with the No Beards hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail for a mighty adventure.
Date: Thursday, October 3, 2019
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Madison Elementary Gym
Please note that our musical performance times have changed to 6:30 pm to allow families the opportunity to enjoy the cookies and lemonade in the cafeteria without interfering with the evening routines at home before returning to school on Friday.
We will have a dress rehearsal assembly on October 3 at 2:15 pm. Due to the limited space in the gymnasium and the number of students we have at Madison, we ask that families do not attend the dress rehearsal so that all the other grade-level students can attend and experience the music performance. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thank you,
Ms. Christina Metzger

Community Resources
We wanted to make sure all of our families know about some of the awesome resources in our area! Please contact Mrs. Hodson, school social worker, if you would like more information or to utilize any of these resources.
Joy's Closet-
This is a low-cost thrift store in Gardner and they have generously provided us with vouchers for FREE clothing, shoes, linens, books, and small household items. Each voucher is good for 20 items per household.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace-
This is an organization of amazing volunteers in Gardner who build, assemble, and deliver top-notch bunk beds and new bedding to children and families in need.
BackSnacks-
Harvesters’ BackSnack program provides a weekly backpack filled with nutritious, child-friendly food for schoolchildren to take home over the weekend throughout the school year. Students who have signed up will meet in Mrs. Hodson’s room at the end of the day on Fridays for “Kids Kafe” to check-in and receive their BackSnacks, putting them straight in their backpacks. We will start this October 4th so please sign up by emailing Mrs. Hodson at hodsonj@usd231.com
