What's Happening at West Madison

Congratulations

Two West Madison Lego Robotics teams competed last weekend in a competition at Athens State University.  I am so proud of them.  

This is what Mrs. Horne, one of the team leaders said about the teams:


"The two West Madison Lego Robotics teams excelled at the FLL Qualifier in Athens. I was impressed with the support and gracious professionalism the two teams showed for each other. Both teams came away with a high score of 90 on the robot table runs, putting them in the top third in robot performance. Robotic Nation received the Innovative Solution Award for their card game Dusk, Dawn and Fight,  which helps students learn about World War I....."

Congratulations Robotic Nation!  They will be going to State in January.  

Robotic Nation: Emma Boyd, John Digges, Ethan Horne, Aubteen Pour Bizaar, Yashas Gentela, Joshua Cagle, Carolyn Horne, Joshua Boyd




Mindsteins, the second Lego Robotics team, tied for fourth place with another team for their robot run.  The team members are:  Henry and Charles Nguyen, Connor Moritz, Mike Zhang, Jayden LaCross, Gabby Abashian, Anna McCauley, and Sophia Koontz. 


Congratulations to both teams.  I am so proud of each of you....You represented West Madison well.  Thank you Mrs. Tibbs, Mrs. Horne and all the other parents who participated for all your hard work.  We truly appreciate you.

I found out Monday, that we have pledges in the amount of over $27,500.  As of Monday, we had collected almost $26,000.  That is so awesome.  I am so proud of our school!  Please, if you haven't sent in your pledge, please do so ASAP.  Thank you so much.  I just love our West Madison family!



Christmas Holiday Shop Coming Soon





During the week of December 8-12, students will get to go to the West Madison Christmas Holiday Shop.  Shop with your students on Dec. 8, after the  PTA meeting.  Each class will visit 2 times during the week to purchase special Christmas presents for the entire family.  This is always a wonderful event every year.
