Welcome, Mountain Lions!

Welcome, Mountain Lions!

Dear Madison Families,


I hope you had a wonderful summer! My name is Debbie McCraw, and I am the PTA president this year. My son is in 5th grade, and we love being a part of the Madison community. One of our primary goals this year is to bring people together and build connections that have been hard to come by during the pandemic. I'd like to invite you to join us at any (or all!) of our events and activities this year. You're welcome to attend all of our PTA meetings, but we also put on activities and events for students and families. We're always looking for volunteers, so don't be shy. You can sign up for a specific job or just let us know you can help on our SignUp Genius form. Watch your inbox for Madison Memos every two weeks, and be sure to join the Madison PTA Facebook Group to stay connected. I hope to get to know many of you in the coming year. Please reach out if you have ideas, suggestions or anything else to share. I can be reached at president@madisonschoolpta.org.


Sincerely,

Debbie McCraw

Welcome, Mountain Lions!

A Meet and Treat Success!

Thank you to all of the Madison community - teachers, staff and parent volunteers - who made this year's Meet and Treat a rousing success. Kids had so much fun seeing their new classrooms, learning about activities like Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and PTA - and of course a cold ice cream treat. An extra special thanks to Meet and Treat committee chairs Heather Graf and Ellen Giuntoli.
