Welcome Back! It's hard to believe the summer is over, but we're ready to get into the swing of things this year! PATT has a lot of great events planned for the upcoming year.
Culver's Nights - This has been a lot of fun in the past - socializing with other Madison families, no cooking that night, and seeing how much fun he kids have while they're serving.

Daddy-Daughter Dance - is scheduled for Saturday, February 6. This is a great opportunity for your daughter to spend a fun evening with their male chaperone. Music, Dancing, Goodie Bags, Raffles, Prizes!
Mom/Son Fun Night - A fun-filled evening for moms and sons to compete against each other at some easy and not-so-easy games. Food, raffle prozes and lots of fun!
Lock-In - will be scheduled for the fall and spring. Parents get to enjoy a couple hours off while their kids do crafts, dance, eat and have lots of fun with their friends.

School Store coming soon...
Beginning in the fall of the 2009-10 school year, Madison Elementary will have its own school store! This has been in talks for quite a while and we've finally gotten some items in and more ordered.
Initially, we will offer notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, erasers, pencil bags, t-shirts and hats - all imprinted with Madison Trojans. We will have a selection of t-shirts on hand (ranging in size from youth small to adult XL), and the ability to order any more we need, with a 2-week delivery time.
Eventually we will add items, such as keychains, license plates, bumper stickers - and more!
So stop by the elementary library during the open house in the fall and stock up on your Madison school supplies!

Keep collecting over the summer!

Madison PATT currently collects Boxtops for Education and Campbell's Labels for Education. I recently sent in a box of boxtops and we'll receive a check for approximately $600 - all for doing practically nothing! So remember to keep clipping your boxtops over the summer and turn them in at the beginning of the school year!

We've also subscribed to a program that lets us turn in used printer cartridges and cell phones for profit. So if you have either of those and would like to recycle them with us, just drop them off at school!
