Mrs. Christensen is a third grade teacher at Burton Elementary. She has a love for her students and the people that she works with! “I like it when the kids come over and say hi to me everyday, it brightens my day. I also really enjoy the people I work with. We have a great, supportive principal who supports us in every avenue and who also remembers us on holidays and things like that. They are very kind and supportive.” #wearemadison #peopleofmadison

Congrats Ashton
Throughout the last week, the Hope Squad at MJHS did a series of activities, including a kindness raffle, a pumpkin decorating contest, and a Halloween art contest. Wednesday was classroom candy bombing. Thursday was a Hope Squad/Teacher flash mob. And Friday's event included a student pie eating contest in which the winners pied the losers, mostly their principal, Mr. Carlson shown in the picture.
Lots of good times mixed with loads of learning! It's a GREAT day to be a Bobcat!

Hey there folks, I just wanted to have a huge shout out to all of those who helped support and cheer on the Madison Bobcats in all of the Fall sporting events. It is sad to see one season of sporting events ending, but the start of a new season of sports for the Madison Bobcats is exciting.
Come and support your Madison Bobcats for this next winter season of sports! The girls first basket ball game of the season is November 12th in Blackfoot.
