Dear Madison Community,
As we welcome the holiday season, I want to extend my gratitude for your continued support of the JMHS PTSA and our school community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our November PTSA meeting. We appreciated hearing updates from Principal Calvert, Mr. Buckley, our PTSA committees, and the SGA, who shared information on their Canned Food Drive and student wellness activities. If there are topics you would like us to cover in future meetings, please let us know. Our next meeting will be on Monday, January 12th at 7:00 PM in the library, and we hope to see you there.
November was also a time of celebration as we recognized students earning a 4.0+ GPA at our annual Academic Awards ceremony. Congratulations to these hardworking students, and thank you to Mr. Buckley and Student Services for partnering with the PTSA to make this event possible.
The Madison Food Pantry and Outreach effort continues to be a shining example of our community’s generosity. We are grateful to the SGA for supporting the pantry through their annual Canned Food Drive, helping us provide essential items to students and families.
Our Winter Clothing Drive, led by JMHS teacher Ms. Slingerland, is also underway. If you are able to donate, your contributions make an immediate and meaningful difference to our students.
A big thank you to our Staff Appreciation committee and to all of you who donated or volunteered for our Fall Treats! event. We look forward to celebrating our staff again with a Donut Breakfast later this month! If you’d like to learn more or get involved, please contact our wonderful Staff Appreciation Committee Chair, Angie Gutenson, at hospitality@jmhsptsa.org.
December is a busy and joyful time at Madison. I encourage you to attend one of our upcoming winter concerts and enjoy the incredible talents of our students. You can find more information in the MAD Choir & MAD Band sections below.
Finally, we invite you to support the PTSA through our December partnership with Vienna Vintner (320 E. Maple Ave). Just mention Madison when making your purchase, and a portion will benefit the PTSA. Please share with friends and family – it is a great way to support a wonderful local business and our programs at the same time.
If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to contact me directly.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to the Madison community. I wish you and your families a joyful and restful holiday season.
Warmly,
Gayle Schlueter
JMHS PTSA President
