Madison School District prides itself on being a caring community. In 2005, we received a letter asking for assistance in making one of our student’s holiday season bright. It was because of this communication that we asked ourselves how many more of our families might need a little help in making the holiday season brighter. The Giving Tree Project was then created.

Once again this year, our tree is full. As an important part of our Madison Family, we would like to invite you to share in the gift of giving. If you would like to be part of The Giving Tree Project by providing Christmas gifts for those in need, please stop by the middle school office to select a child or family. Monetary donations can also be made through MySchoolBucks.

Should you have any questions, please call 517-263-0743.
