Welcome to the Madison School PTA website!
We are
the Madison PTA and we support better education, more resources, safer schools for every child, and greater parent
involvement. From homework to recess, from friendships to family, your child's development never stops and neither
do we! We want what you want, the very best for your children.
When
you join the PTA, you join millions of others nationwide and thousands of others state-wide who care about issues that affect
our kids. Please consider supporting our efforts in whatever way you can through PTA membership, fundraising,
and volunteering.
