We had a great time participating in United Way of Dane County’s Community Kickoff event! It was heartwarming and uplifting to work together with our Madison Metropolitan School District colleagues, Joe Gothard, Ed.D. and Sonia Spencer, along with community members to pack paper product ImPacks that will help local families. 👏

We were excited to attend the Wisconsin Public Education Network summit! The event was packed with engaging discussions on critical topics, including revenue limits, special education funding, fighting against privatization, and navigating state budgets. WPEN Executive Director Heather DuBois Bourenane's inspiring words, "we know that if we work stronger together, we can make a difference," resonate deeply with us. Her message serves as a powerful reminder of the impact we can achieve when we unite for a common cause.

The Adopt-a-School partnership between Madison West Kiwanis and Midvale Elementary School was formed in 2011 and continues to thrive! The Kiwanis presented Midvale with a $1,000 check and 20+ books. This generous donation will fund the creation of a sensory-sensitive cafeteria area to support students with difficulties in transitions, self-regulation, and sensory processing challenges. In a heartwarming tradition, the Kiwanis also had their guest speakers add a personal note to each book donated. 📚 "We are so thankful for our ongoing partnership with the Madison West Kiwanis. From volunteering at events to donations to creating ongoing relationships with our students through programs like lunch buddies, Madison West Kiwanis has been a dedicated and delightful group, and we are deeply grateful for their support." –Madison Metropolitan School District Midvale Principal Gwen Frank
