Focus on Community Service
Madison is a community middle school. We support community education, based on the belief that learning is a life-long process and that communities hold the resources for their own development.
To do this we:
1. Promote citizen (parent and non-parent) participation in determining programs
and activities at our school.
2. Utilize available human, physical and business resources to support our
curricular program, after-school program, and our optional programs such
as Rec Zone, Kidssports, athletics, etc.
3. Encourage community use of the school building . . . evening and after-school
classes.
4. Facilitate communication between community members and existing agencies
. . . co-sponsorship of events, social service referral, and the newsletter.
5. The Rec Zone after-school program, sponsored by the City of Eugene.
