Fifth Grade Celebration planning is underway
The 5th Grade Celebration will be May 31 from 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.
We currently are collecting donations for raffle prizes. Any donations, no more than $15, are greatly appreciated. Some fun ideas include $5 and $10 gift cards, PE t-shirts for Edison, items to decorate lockers, fun pens and pencils, or anything you think a new 6th Grader would like or use. Donations can be dropped in the school office in the bin marked “5th Grade Party Raffle Prizes”. Our hope is to have enough for every 5th Grader to go home with a prize.
Deadline for dropping off raffle prizes is Thursday, May 19, 2016.
If you have any questions regarding the raffle, please contact Becky Grout at rebeccagrout@hotmail.com.

Spring Clean-up was a success
Many thanks to the volunteers that made Madison’s Spring Clean-up another successful event. The children helped with the front entrance planters, planted bright geraniums around the school sign, and spread mulch around the flower beds. All of their hard work keeps our school looking beautiful and there will be fewer weeds to pull during the Fall Clean-up. Even though we were a little short-handed, we were still able to fill eight yard-waste bags full of leaves, branches, and weeds. Please consider volunteering next school year to help with the work load.
We would like to thank the following families that helped:
Cub Scout Pack 335, Dens 7 and 8: Greg, Gabe, and Grace Graham; Kevin and Will Klotz; Alex, Andy, and Nico Martinez; and Mark and Jack Mathis. Thanks to Shyla Paramsothy, Wendy and Kate Payne, and Kyla and Jacqueline Phanthavong.
