This just in....Madison FFA comes to the rescue last night at the Rexburg Mobile Food Pantry! The food pantry volunteer numbers have been dwindling lately, which makes distributing food to more than 600 families challenging. Last night, the Madison FFA showed up and served from start to finish, doubling the number of volunteers at the event. The pantry director commented that they are one of the hardest working groups she has ever seen out there and reaffirmed that they saved the day (and the day of 650 families) by choosing to volunteer. We are so proud of these students and their dedication to the FFA AND their community. Thank you for representing Madison in such a fine way! #wearemadison

Attention!!! The Bobcat Fieldhouse will be closed to the public Thursday, October 6th, for a scheduled power outage to the area. Thanks!

We want to give a HUGE shout out to MIkel Walker. Mike was recently inducted into the Madison High Hall of Fame! The MHS Hall of Fame was founded in 2017 as a way to honor retired alumni for their contributions and their dedicated service to Madison High School, their community of residence, and to the well-being of their corner of the world. From all of us here at Madison. Thank you Mikel for who you are! You can read a bit more about Mikel below: Mikel Walker was born on December 14, 1956, in Rigby, Idaho. His younger years were spent growing up in Rigby. When Mikel was 12 years old, his parents decided to move their family-owned restaurant to Rexburg. The family made the move from Rigby to Rexburg in 1968. He worked for his father in the family restaurant while growing up, learning business skills that would benefit him later in life. Mikel graduated from Madison High School in 1975. While in high school, Mikel became interested in Emergency Medicine and shortly after graduating began working part-time with Madison County Ambulance. He was hired full-time in October 1978, and worked with Madison County Ambulance and Madison Fire Department until his retirement in June 2016. He was serving as Assistant Fire Chief at the time of his retirement. Mikel loved his profession as a Paramedic-Firefighter and the people he served with. This time brought great joy and satisfaction as he served the people of Madison County. Mikel has been married to Barbara Walker for 41 years. They have four children and ten wonderful grandchildren. Mikel and Barbara have been business owners in Rexburg for many years, having the opportunity to work with the people of Rexburg, Madison County, and the surrounding area. They owned and operated Walker Medical beginning in 1990 until they sold the business in 2001. Presently, Mikel and Barbara are owners of Paul Mitchell The School in Rexburg. They have been active in church and community affairs throughout the years. Many great people have mentored Mikel throughout his life, which has allowed him to experience many great things. He has also mentored others and has left his positive influence everywhere he goes. He was elected to the City Council in November of 2017. Prior to being elected to City Council, Mikel served on the Traffic and Safety Committee and has served on several City, County, and State Committees throughout his employment with the Fire Department. His liaison assignments include Parks and Recreation, Trails of Madison County, and the Mayor's Youth Advisory Board. Mikel and Barbara raised their family in the Madison School District, and they have been active supporters of the Madison Bobcats. They love Rexburg and the people who live here.

It's time to end Homecoming week with a BANG, or in other words, OUR HOCO PARADE! Nothing screams school spirt like this parade! Pull on your red shirt and bring the kids out to come support our BOBCAT NATION! ***The route starts in front of the Madison Education Center (former Jr. High 60 West Main), goes down Main street and turns down 3rd East (west side of smith park)

Just a reminder the Bobcat Fieldhouse will be closed all day tomorrow (Sept. 23) to the public for Homecoming. Normal public hours will resume Saturday, Sept. 24. Have a great weekend and go Bobcats!

Madison School District is excited to announce the district wide implementation of a new anonymous tip line to report bullying, violence, drugs or harm. The program is called SEE, TELL, NOW! There are THREE ways to make a report. Go to www.seetellnow.org to explore and become familiar with them all! When you SEE something, TELL someone, NOW! SEE When you are in and around your school, simply be aware of your surroundings. You may notice something that doesn’t seem right, looks odd or is simply out of the ordinary. TELL Tell someone at your school or call the police – but tell someone. We want to know what’s happening at your school, and your observations are important NOW Do it NOW. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate. If something looks out of place to you, it likely is. When it comes to the safety of our children, it’s always a better idea to be safe rather than sorry.

The Bobcat Fieldhouse will be closed all day to the public September 23rd for Homecoming. Thanks!

We take your child's attendance at school seriously! So serious, in fact, that if your child was marked absent yesterday, our system called ALL of the phone numbers in your child's file to let them know! :-/ (face palm) When we get the kinks worked out, parents will receive a text and an e-mail from the school informing them of an unverified absence. Elementary age between 9-9:30 am and Jr/High between 6-6:30pm. Our apologize to you (and your emergency contacts who received the call) as we are navigating a new system! We appreciate your patience!

Hello Bobcat Nation! We hope you enjoyed the long (hot) holiday weekend! We continue to encounter unusually high temperatures this time of year. As a result, the National Weather Service has issued a “heat advisory” for our area until Wednesday, September 7, at 9 p.m. We have been closely monitoring this advisory along with consulting neighboring districts. Below are things being done district-wide to beat the heat: * 9 of our 12 buildings have operating air conditioning that is running * Windows are being propped open in the early morning hours to cool off our classrooms * HVAC fans are running to pull heat out of the buildings * Teachers are encouraging and providing the added opportunity for students to hydrate often * Bus windows and roof hatches are being left open as students ride the bus * All busses allow and are encouraging students to bring a water bottle while riding We want to assure you that classroom temps are being monitored by district staff during this extended heatwave. The safety of our staff and students remains our highest priority. With Wednesday slotted to be the hottest day for parents/caregivers, we recommend you send your students with a water bottle and dress in light, loose-fitting clothing. We will continue to monitor the situation as it unfolds and communicate any changes to affected students/parents/staff. As always, parents have the right to keep their children home if they believe it is unsafe to send them to school. Stay cool, Bobcats! Fall will be upon us soon! #wearemadison
