🎉 Way to go, Madison Elementary! 🎉
Congratulations to this week’s top-attending classes for Oct. 12–16:
🏆 Wilson — 99%
🌟 Jack — 98%
👏 Keiser — 97%
👏 Reid — 97%
👏 Davis — 96%
Madison’s weekly attendance was 95%, and our year-to-date attendance is 95%. Thank you, families, for helping students show up ready to learn!
Every school day matters: learning builds day by day, daily routines and friendships grow stronger, and regular attendance helps prevent gaps in reading and math. It also builds healthy habits that carry forward.
Let’s keep the momentum going—help your child be at school every day they can! 💙📚
Your Presence Matters!

💙💛 **Madison Mustangs Have Something to Celebrate!** 💙💛
Madison Elementary School is excited to announce that we have received a grant from the **West Virginia Central Credit Union Day of Giving Grant Program for the 2026 school year!**
These generous funds will help us keep our **Madison Mustang Cares Food and Hygiene Box** stocked throughout the school year!
Our Mustang Cares box provides students with snacks and easy-to-prepare food items to take home after school, along with a variety of essential hygiene products. This resource helps us support our students and families by providing access to items that can make a meaningful difference in their daily lives. Parents are invited to visit the box before, during and after school hours to help with their needs at home.
At Madison Elementary, we believe that taking care of our Mustangs goes beyond the classroom. We want every student to know that they are supported, valued, and cared for by their school community.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to West Virginia Central Credit Union for this generous grant and for investing in our students and our community! Your support helps us continue our mission of making sure our Mustangs have the resources they need to succeed.
With gratitude,
Principal Jeanna Plumly and the Madison Elementary School Staff

🥨 NEED A SNACK? WANT TO SHARE SOME FOOD? 💙
Don’t forget to stop by Madison Elementary’s Madison Cares Outdoor Food & Hygiene Pantry!
Thanks to the generosity of some wonderful local donors and members of our community, we have been able to keep our pantry stocked with snacks, food essentials, and hygiene items for students, families, and community members who may need a little extra support.
💙 Why does Madison do this?
Because we believe that taking care of our students means taking care of the whole child and the whole family. Sometimes families experience times when food or everyday essentials are harder to provide. We want our Madison community to know that there is always kindness waiting here.
Our goal is simple: Make sure no one has to go without something they need. We believe in looking out for one another, sharing what we have, and creating a school community where everyone feels supported, valued, and cared for.
🥫 Need something? Please take what you need.
🤝 Have something to share? Please give what you can.
Whether you are receiving or giving, you are helping make Madison a stronger, more caring community.

❤️ Mrs. Tucker's Tech Tip Tuesday
The same kindness we expect face-to-face should be practiced online.
Ask your child: "Would I say this to someone's face?"
Encourage positive comments, respectful communication, and thoughtful choices online.

Let's take a second to celebrate our awesome educators this morning !
At Madison Elementary, it takes an entire village to help our students learn, grow, and thrive—and every single staff member is an important part of that village.
From the moment our students walk through the doors, they are surrounded by people who care about them.
🍎 From our school cooks, who make sure our students are nourished and cared for…
🚌 To those who help keep our students safe getting to and from school…
🧹 To our custodial team, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide a clean, welcoming school…
📚 To our classroom teachers, who teach, encourage, challenge, and believe in every child…
💻 To our support staff, interventionists, aides, office staff, specialists, and administrators…
Every person plays a role. Every person matters. Every person is invested in our students.
We may have different jobs, but we share the same purpose: to do what is best for our Madison Mustangs. 💙
Our students are not “just students.” They are our kids while they are with us. We celebrate their successes, encourage them through their challenges, wipe away tears, cheer them on, and celebrate every milestone along the way.
Because at Madison, we aren’t just a school.
We are a family.
We are a team.
We are Madison Mustangs. 🐎💙🤍

🍎 A Bushel of Kindergarten Fun! 🍎
Ms. Wareheim's and Mrs. Hardman's kindergarten students had a wonderful time exploring all things apples! Throughout their apple-themed activities, students tasted apples, created apple-inspired projects, discovered how apples change when made into applesauce, and even measured themselves to find out "How Many Apples Tall Are You?"
Hands-on learning helps make lessons memorable, and these young learners were busy using their senses, practicing observation skills, comparing sizes, and trying new things. From apple tasting to applesauce making, every activity was packed with fun, creativity, and learning!
We are so proud of our kindergarten students for their enthusiasm and curiosity as they explored, created, measured, and learned together. 🍏❤️🍎

📚💙 ATTENDANCE MATTERS AT MADISON! 💙🐎
Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, make friends, and build important skills—and every day really does count!
When students attend school regularly, they have more opportunities to:
✨ Learn new concepts and stay on track academically
✨ Build strong relationships with teachers and classmates
✨ Participate in classroom activities and special experiences
✨ Develop responsibility, confidence, and good habits
✨ Feel connected to their school and their Madison Mustang family
Missing just a few days here and there can add up quickly, especially in elementary school when students are building the foundation for future learning.
We understand that children get sick and life happens. 💙 Our goal isn’t perfection—it’s to encourage families to make school attendance a priority whenever it is possible and appropriate.
🐎 Every day. Every student. Every opportunity.
Let’s work together to help our Mustangs show up, learn, grow, and soar! 💙🤍

💙🐴 Happy National Custodial Appreciation Day! 🐴💙
Today, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to Cheryl and Melody for their incredible hard work and dedication to Madison Elementary! 🧹✨
Before our doors even opened this school year, these two worked tirelessly to prepare our building for the return of our students and staff. From cleaning and organizing to all the countless little things that often go unnoticed, they helped make Madison feel clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our Mustang Family. 🏫💙
Their work continues every single day, and we are so grateful for everything they do to take care of our school and the people who call Madison home.
Cheryl & Melody — thank you for all you do! Your hard work makes a BIG difference, and the entire Madison Family appreciates you more than you know! 💙🐴

Students in Mrs. Keiser's class had Art Cart today. Students got to create their own self portraits using pencils, markers, and watercolor. They were challenged to not lift their pencil while creating their portrait. They are all so creative!
First graders practicing missing addend with a game we call, "What's Missing?" Hiding some under, placing some on top to reach a target 🎯 number of 10. A great way to practice number partners for 10!
It was a great day in Ms. Wareheim and Mrs. Hardman's Kindergarten! Students were celebrated for counting to 100 by 10s and 1s and everyone played The Ultimate Game of Tag! 🤩
