 Athziry Talavera, one of Madison's 6th grade students, drew the winning design for this year's TEAM t-shirt. Each 6th grade student in the Mount Vernon School District had the opportunity to create a design for this year's TEAM shirt.

 Of the 430 sixth grade students in the Mount Vernon School District, Athziry's picture was chosen. We are very proud of her creativity. (All 6th grade students will receive a t-shirt with Athziry's design at T.E.A.M. Graduation in May.)

 This school year our annual canned food drive was from November 3rd through November 14th. Once again our staff and students were very generous by bringing food to help those less fortunate. We collected a total of 1344 cans of food, which will be donated to a local food bank and also fill the baskets for our own Madison needy families. Mrs. Needy's 5th Grade class helped the PTO organize and count the canned food.
There was a competition of boys vs. girls amongst the students. The girls brought in 842 non-perishable items and the boys brought in 502 non-perishable items. The top classes were: In first place (by a landslide!) Mrs. Needy's 5th grade class brought in 314 items. And with a tie for second and third place was Ms. Wilson and Mrs. Renne's Kindergarten classes who each brought in 89 items.
Great job Madison Elementary for helping your community in so many ways!

 Students & staff who wanted to vote for President were invited to do so. Several students were willing to come around & explain why it is important to vote. They did not discuss their preference; only the importance of voting. They also explained how to vote if students and staff did not understand the directions. Students and staff could vote for Barack Obama, John McCain, or other.

 The Madison Election Box was outside Mrs. Kerley’s classroom door. Students had to personally drop off their ballots in the Madison Election Box like in a real election. The tallies will be announced.

 One student reaction to their chance to vote was, “It’s really cool because usually kids can’t vote.” The young lady said she was excited to vote and that this vote is like kids getting a chance to give their opinion.
