FROM OUR PTO PRESIDENT

Happy fall! Now that fall is officially here, I hope we will begin to see some cooler

weather! The past month has been very busy. We wrapped up the fall fundraiser,

took school pictures, had a teachers’ luncheon, and started preparations for the

library book fair just to name a few! Thank you for all of the hard work from all of

these committees and from the parents that have helped support them as well!

The families & children of our school are truly amazing! You all made our fundraiser

a HUGE success! I cannot THANK YOU enough for your support. I also want to give a

special thanks to our fundraising committee: Katie Mitchell, Sherry McIntyre, Ali

Webber, Amber Wells, Britton Hathorn, Chelsie Jefferies, Elisabeth Carney, Page

Robertson, Rachael Bearden, & Sallie Dier. Thank you all so much for the countless

hours you spent working to help make the fundraiser a success.

Once again, I am amazed by the wonderful staff of MSE. They pulled off such an

exciting surprise for the students with their transformations of the school &

classrooms at “Rock your School Day”. We are all blessed to be able to go to such an

amazing school that offers so many fun ways of learning. THANK YOU teachers and

administrators for all of your hard work! You rock!

The MSE Fall Festival is just around the corner! This committee is hard at work

planning this great event. It will be such a FUN night for our MSE family, & you can

also shop at the Library Book Fair too!!

There is still time to join the PTO! Please go to www.msepto.com to join and don’t

forget to follow Madison Station Elementary PTO on Facebook to stay up to date. WE

APPRECIATE YOU!!

FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear MSE families,

As we move into October, we welcome cooler temperatures and the beautiful

colors that changing leaves bring. I am excited about our upcoming Fall Fest. What a

wonderful time of year for us all to gather and fellowship together as a community!

Our Fall Fest Committee has been working diligently to plan a fun event for

everyone. Plan to bring a chair, sit out on the lawn, and enjoy time with neighbors.

The days are flying by quickly and students will be bringing home their first

report card very soon. Thank you for your continued support and

for making learning a priority. We have so much to accomplish

and we could not do it without you.

Kindly,

Mrs. Hanna

Principal

Happy Birthday

Each month, we will share with you information related to each goal:

Madison Station’s 4 Major Goals!

Goal 1: Academic Excellence (focusing on a child’s mind)

Report cards will be coming home on October 17. Take some time to review your child’s report

card with him/her. Reflect on the successes they’ve had during the nine weeks and set goals for

the next nine weeks. Remember that academic goals should be based on each child’s individual

needs. Encourage them to share with you their most enjoyable units of study as well as their

most challenging. Talk about routines and organizational techniques that will help them manage

school and all of the other activities in which they are involved.

Goal 2: Arts Integration (focusing on a child’s heart/soul)

We are always looking for opportunities to showcase the arts at Madison Station. On November

1st all of our MSE students will travel to Madison Central High Schools to enjoy their performance

of High School Musical. What a treat for our students to get to see a musical performed by some

of our former Madison Station students!

Goal 3: Fitness and Wellness (focusing on a child’s body)

Read, Study, and Play!

Combine outdoor activity with reading and studying is a great way to increase achievement and

physical activity. Here are suggestions.

Read and Walk Take a book along with you through the neighborhood or download for listening

on a smartphone.

Study and Dribble Encourage your child to add a physical activity to studying. For example, use

chalk to write test questions or math facts. Then they can dribble over each one as they

memorize the answers.

Goal 4: Strong Character Traits (focusing on a child’s character)

Thank you to all who supported our canned food drive. The food drive is such a wonderful

way for our students to get involved in community service and experience the joy that comes

from helping others. Our next community service project at Madison Station will be coming in

early December and will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

October Artist of the Month

best friend, Ben Jersey, his Rat Terrier. He is a Certified
