Teacher wishes granted
Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our Madison Community, the PTA was able to grant ALL of the classroom improvement wishes for our teachers and staff this year. Each year, the PTA helps furnish classrooms with books, learning materials, new rugs, flexible seating arrangements and so much more. Thanks to the success of this year’s Fun Run, the PTA is donating over $6,300 back to the classrooms for such learning enrichment items. Thank you for your continued support of Madison!

Save General Mills box tops and scan your receipt
General Mills is phasing out its clipped Box Tops, but some may still be found on products throughout the store. If you have Box Tops, send them into the LLC. If you've never been one to remember to clip and send in Box Tops but have a smart phone, just download the new Box Tops app, and scan your receipt to find participating products. The app will automatically credit Madison's earnings. Madison can earn ten cents for every General Mills box top scanned. The LLC has purchased many copies of award winning books. Let's continue the effort. Download the new app.
