Madrona Giving Tree
Madrona Giving Tree is our annual drive to help families in need within our school community. You can help two ways: pick up a tag or two off the tree located in the main office. Return the tag and associated gift, unwrapped to the main office by December 8. Alternatively, you may make a cash donation here: https://checkout.square.site/buy/V62Q5HPR37RXU5EAFMV4PXMG Donations will be used to purchase any unfulfilled gift requests and gift cards to distribute among the families. Thank you so much for your support of these families. All donations must be collected by December 8. Questions? Please reach out to Lindsay at MITViceChair@gmail.com

School Levy
Are you interested in supporting the School Levy happening in February? Teams are being created now to help with the campaign.
A School Election Team includes the building principal, teachers, paras, parents and Parent Club members. We are hoping for about 6 members per team but more would ALWAYS BE WELCOME. Schools would like to have teams created by December 1.

Teams would engage in any or all of the following:
- Come with your SET Team Members to the SET Launch hosted by Yes for Kids! on December 5, 2023 at the MLT Senior Center at 3:30 PM for Secondary SET Teams and 5:00 PM for Elementary SET Teams.
- Post informational flyers in office areas.
- Post a sign in your yard
- Phone calling
- Sign Waving
- and in general, knowing the talking points and being able and willing to speak about the election,
- …and more…
