This week and next, we are holding our school-wide Madison Thanksgiving food drive (non-perishable items) to support those in our community who are not as fortunate and may be struggling with food insecurity due to hard times. Half of all items donated will be taken to Combined Community Services on November 21, and the other half will be going to Madison families in need to help our students get through the Thanksgiving break. Help our cardinals make an impact!

Last week as part of our "Kindergarten Cruise-in Thursdays" series, Lineman Mike from Kosciusko REMC brought his bucket truck for students to learn about a career as a lineman and how to use tools and materials to design and build a device that solves a problem through the engineering process. This week as part of Kindergarten Cruise-in Thursday, our students will see an ambulance up close and hear from an EMT. In a full-circle moment, we are also proud to share that Madison alumnus and engineer, Austin Swihart, Purdue '15 (and son of proud mom, Madison kindergarten teacher Amy Klinger) was part of the Altec team that designed the bucket truck and then sent it to production to be built. At Madison, we strive to create unforgettable opportunities for our students. Our WCS alumni are making a difference in our community and beyond! #ExperienceWCS

As part of the Lily Center for Lakes and Streams' "Lake in the Library" program, five new scaly friends have made a home in the Madison media center. This year, we will have in-school field trips for all grades twice per year--Fish Week in the fall and Eco Week in the spring. The Lily Center's Education Team will put on grade-specific lessons using our new aquarium as the focus. As part of our STEM pillar focused on "Lakes and Streams," the Lake in the Library program will give students an up-close look at native fish and plant species to our local lakes and the opportunity to see why our lakes are so important. A big thank you to the Lily Center for our new fish friends! #ExperienceWCS #MadisonSTEM
