Spirit Wear Sale

Madison PATT will begin their first spirit wear sale of the year... just in time for Christmas! (The logo to the left is what will be printed on the sweatshirts).
We have a number of items available.

The sale will begin on Monday, November 9, and run through Monday, November 30. Order forms will come home with your student on Monday!

We cannot accept any orders past November 30 so we can ensure delivery in time for Christmas! If this will be a gift for your child, there will be a spot on the order form to indicate that and you can pick them up at school.

Time for the Book Fair!

This year, the fall book fair will not be held in the library, as it previously was. It will be held in one of our spare classrooms. It is easier to monitor this way, we can lock up the doors when no one is there, and the classes will also get their regular library time that week instead of missing out on it.
Therefore... we need LOTS of volunteers to man the fair! During times there aren't volunteers, the book fair will not be open - so we need lots of help!

If you are interested in signing up, please let me know what time you are available to work the fair.

Remember - IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A TIME - PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE THERE! I am scheduling classes according to volunteer times, so if you aren't there, the classes will be in a bind!

Welcome Back!

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.

Flag Football - open to all Madison Elementary boys and girls. Games will run on Saturdays from Sept. 26 through Oct. 17.

Fall Family Fun Night - Will be held on Thursday, October 29. Check out the games, crafts and spooky hall!

Book Fairs - will be held in the fall, winter and spring. Watch for upcoming dates!

Santa Shop - A great time for kids to shop for their parents, siblings and other relatives.

Donuts With Santa - Make crafts and visit the "Big Guy!"

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.

Skate Nights - usually held in the spring. Join other classmates at the Adrian Skatery for a fun night of rollerskating. Watch for information about theme of the evening!

And as always... PATT is looking for volunteers to help out with any of these activities. You can help out with all or just one of them. Volunteers get free registration for their child at most events.

End-of-the-year Picnic

Thank you to everyone who came out to PATT's 1st end-of-the-year picnic. We had a GREAT turnout, GREAT weather, and GREAT food!!! This was our first one, so we really didn't know what to expect... Wow! Hopefully next year we can build on this for a really great event.
Have a happy summer!

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!
