MADISON ELEMENTARY MINUTES
ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM - EVERY CHILD SUCCEEDS!
Welcome to a new week! Week of February 19
This past week included events of sadness both in our country and in our community. Please keep the families in your thoughts and prayers.
Please also know we work hard to keep your child's safety at the foremost of our minds each and every day. We will continue to work hard and make revisions where needed to provide the safest environment as possible.
Thank you to everyone in attendance at the REFLECTIONS Celebration Monday evening. It was a fun evening dedicated to recognizing the students that submitted entries into the REFLECTIONS competition. Thank you to the MES PTA, Mrs. Beaupre and other parent volunteers for organizing this event.
Thank you to all of the moms that joined us for Muffins with Mom on Valentine's Day!! We had a wonderful turn-out and enjoyed starting our day in such a positive way. We hope you enjoyed the time with your child/children.
School is closed Monday, February 19 for Presidents' Day.
Have a wonderful week!
