Look What's Happening at West Madison


Author Visits West Madison
Hester Bass came to West Madison to share her book Seeds of Freedom with Third Graders and Fourth Graders this week!




She told the students about Mr. Sonny Hereford, resident of Madison who was the first African American student to integrate public schools in Huntsville.  At the same time on the historical day in 1963, reverse integration was going on at St. Joseph's catholic school.  A group of 10 Caucasian students entered a predominately African American school. 

It was a wonderful presentation.  The students learned a lot.  

 Have a Happy Valentine's Day

Please be reminded that February 13 will be a 1/2 day for students.  Dismissal will be at 11:00.
