Musical selections, both voice and orchestral, are traditionally part of the Baccalaureate Service, as well as student speakers and faith leaders. It is time of reflection for our seniors and their families on the eve of graduation.
We have chosen the following quote from the 2017 National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, as the theme for this year’s Baccalaureate:
“In this truth, in this faith, we trust. For while we have our eyes on the future, History has its eyes on us.”
Madison HS is hosting our 3rd annual “Feet Meet” for Special Olympics student athletes on Friday, May 2nd and we need volunteers!
Madison is hosting a SPECIAL OLYMPICS FEET MEET for students across FCPS from preschool through high school on Friday, May 2nd from 9:30am-12noon. There will be stations (similar to Field Day) and the following events: 25 M Races and 50 M Races including Wheelchair Races, Softball or Turbo Jab Throw and Standing Long Jump.
We currently expect almost 400 athletes and partners – and will need volunteers to lead the stations and events as well as serve as “ambassadors” for visiting schools and our own team. If you are a student, you will miss class so you need to check with both your teachers and your parents to get their approval.

Number of volunteers are limited so please complete form to RSVP to be a volunteer for Feet Meet!
