We are looking for a few volunteers to assist with Fall Kick-off and Back to School Night.  We will have a MEMBERSHIP table which will also include information on PTSA programs and Academic Boosters.  The shifts are short and your help would be much appreciated!  Please sign up here.

We are looking to fill the chair (or co-chair) positions for Membership. Membership is largely done online so this volunteer work can be done from home and/or in off-hours.  We are also looking for someone to co-chair Hospitality with our current chair Kebra Krol.  Please contact Beth Eachus at president@jmhsptsa.org if interested or if you know someone who might be interested.

Madison High School and the PTSA continue to work together to provide a Food Pantry for students and families in need. And we need your support!  We distribute approx 30-40 bags of food each week to Madison students (and their families) in need.

Thank you to the Madison community for all your support during the school year.  Your contributions have made a huge difference and it is due to your caring and your generosity that the Madison Pantry has been such a success!  If you would like to donate, we are looking for both shelf stable milk and liquid dish soap as the school year comes to a close.
