All Night Grad

The All Night Grad Committee has big plans for the class of 2025 at Warhawk Wrap (All-Night Grad)!  Get a ticket to this bash for your senior here!  The $60 ticket price is the lowest it has been in years, but will not last!  Seniors spend the night of graduation with their class for one last time:  try your luck at the casino, win amazing prizes, play games with friends, dance at the silent disco, or eat a seemingly never ending supply of food.  If you are interested in helping to plan this epic night, or have questions, email Jennifer Hallworth at [email protected].

Lawn Signs celebrating the class of 2025 are on sale!!  The senior class is designing their own sign and will be distributed in early spring.  Buy yours today and check it off your list!  Orders must be placed by March 15 to guarantee availability.  These look great at grad parties!

Staff Appreciation Committee

  

 

On November 20, the Madison PTSA held our annual “Fall Treats” event. Thank you to all who donated their time, beverages, and/or food for the event. Our next event will take place the Friday before winter break. We will provide Dunkin Donuts and coffee for teachers and staff. If you have any questions, email Angie, Nina, and Michelle at [email protected].

JMHS Food Pantry

Thank you for all your support and generosity this year!  

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, we wanted to share a few opportunities to give back through Madison.

The Madison High School/JMHS PTSA winter clothing drive has begun! Please consider signing up to support Madison students and their families in need of winter clothing. Donations may be
brought to the Madison High School main office now through Monday, December 16th. Donation drop-off times are weekdays from 8am-4pm.  Donors can sign up here.  Any questions can be directed to Ms. Slingerland at [email protected]. Thank you, as always, for the generosity and kindness the Madison community demonstrates towards our students! 

The SGA annual canned food drive also has begun!  Please send in cans and shelf stable food through December 16th to stock our own Madison pantry as well as support Food for Others this holiday season.  Our pantry is always in need of boxed milk, dried beans, rice, mac n cheese, oil, and apple sauce if you need ideas!

The PTSA is proud to partner with Madison High School and local non profits to support students and their families who are food insecure.  The Madison Pantry and Outreach team distributes food and hygiene items throughout the summer and weekly during the school year to students and their families.  

Donations can be dropped off at Madison at Door 1 during school hours.  These items are available through our Amazon wishlist as well.  You can also make a cash donation below.
