Look What's Happening at 

West Madison this Week!

We had our 4th-6th Grade AR Awards Assembly on Monday!

We have some awesome readers!

Quite a few students got to put their hand print on a ceiling tile!  Look for them as you enter the front hall by the Computer Lab.


  

More 100th Day Celebrations from Last Week!
I couldn't resist.  They were so cute!  I enjoyed doing 1 of the 100 dances with them.  :)






Student Corner 

I am so excited that we have some super students at West Madison.  Over the past few months I heard some great things about the following students. They all have one thing in common, they have helped people in need.    

The first student is Tyler B. 
 A few years ago his class at WM adopted a family in need at Christmas.  He was concerned that some children were not going to have a Christmas and he wanted to give his own money to help them.  He was adament about giving all the money he saved to help them.  That year he donated $110.  This year was no different.  He took all the money he had saved and gave it to a family in need at Christmas.  This is one student at WM with a big heart.

The second student is Matthew K.  

Matthew was coming home from a basketball practice when Matthew noticed that something wasn't right about his neighbor's house.  He told his mom and dad.  They were able to call 911.  The neighbor's chimney was on fire.  His mother ran to the neighbor's house and pounded on the door.  The neighbor's had no idea that their house was on fire.  The fire department was able to save the house.  Because of Matthew and his family the neighbors are alive today as well as their house saved.   Wow, what a hero! Matthew and his family are amazing!

 These are only two students who are among the very special students at West Madison.

Look forward to more students spotlighted from WMES.
