Madison Messenger - Summer 2025

Principal Message

Dear Families,

Another year has ended. We loved having your student and your family as part of our Madison community. Thank you for entrusting us with your child(ren).

We were able to send students home with summer books and activities. We hope your children will be able to use these items purchased with title funds. Come and join us for Popsicles on the Porch on July 16th from 10-11AM where we will have more books available for kids!

We hope your family is able to enjoy the summer. Read a book, take a walk or a bike ride, enjoy one of the beautiful parks or lakes in our area. We will see you again in late August.

Heather Holter, Madison Principal
