Look What's Happening at West Madison

We had an awesome first full week of school.  It was as if we never left.  It is wonderful to feel the excitement in the air.  

We began our STAR Assessments this past week.  We will be finishing up this week.  The assessments will give us a baseline for where the students are in Reading and Math.  

It was so wonderful going into classrooms this past week.  That is the most fun that I get to do as a principal.  We have a lot of good things going on at West Madison.  

5th Grade Learning the 

Engineering Design Process

It was very interesting to listen to the student's thinking!

Ruby the Copycat is always a fun book to read in Second Grade!

We have the best teachers at West Madison.  They truly care about our kids.  

Mrs. Allen, Counselor; Mrs. Rogers, First Grade and Ms. Warren, Second Grade are only a few!

We learn so much in art!  Students learned about why art is important!

I once heard someone say that "a dream is just a dream...without goals to accomplish it, we go nowhere."

We had a great first day of School!

It was so exciting seeing all the students get off the buses this morning.    They were smiling and looked like they were ready to learn.  

We had several parents stop by to see us at the Boo Hoo Breakfast.  

Tomorrow the Kindergarten girls will be with us.  We look forward to seeing them. Parents please stop by and join us for the breakfast.  We can
"Boo Hoo" together. :) 

Everyone enjoyed lunch!

We had a wonderful start!

Thank you to all our PTA Board for your hard work!
