Mustang Memo: Family Edition

February 13, 2026

Hello Madison Mustangs!

Thank you for another fantastic week of learning and growing together. We’ve all been soaking up this beautiful warmer weather—there is definitely a hint of spring in the air!

A sincere thank you to everyone who watched our drop-off and pick-up safety videos. Keeping our students safe is our top priority, and we truly appreciate your partnership in making that happen.

We hope you have a warm, sunny, and relaxing three-day weekend. We can’t wait to see everyone back on Tuesday to kick off our first dress-up day of the week!

Calling All Nurse's Clothes!

Our spare pants bin at the Madison nurse's office is looking a little empty! Accidents, spills, and muddy puddles happen, and we love being able to help our students stay comfortable. If you happen to find any pants at home with 'nurse" written on the tag, please send them back our way. We’ll get them washed and ready for the next friend in need!

Spread the Love (and Safety!) This February 💌

Hi Madison Families!

As we get closer to February, there is definitely a buzz of excitement in the hallways! Whether we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or Friendship Day, we love seeing our students share kindness and appreciation for one another. It’s one of our favorite times of the year!

To make sure that every student can join in the fun safely and comfortably, we want to share a quick reminder about our "Sweet-Free" celebration policy.

🛑 The "No Food" Policy

While we love a good cupcake as much as anyone, we do not allow any food or candy to be brought into the building for distribution. We have many students with various food allergies and dietary needs. By keeping treats non-edible, we ensure that no one feels left out and—most importantly—everyone stays safe. We’re all about inclusive celebrations where the focus is on the friendship, not the sugar!

🎨 Fun & Creative Alternatives

If your student wants to bring something special for their classmates, there are so many awesome ways to say "You're a great friend!" without the candy. Here are a few ideas that are always a huge hit:

Stationery Staples: Fun erasers, colorful pencils, or miniature notebooks.
Creative Gear: Individual sticker sheets, temporary tattoos, or small containers of play-dough.
Playful Trinkets: Glow sticks, bouncy balls, or plastic spider rings (hey, some kids like spooky valentines!).
Crafty Vibes: Friendship bracelet kits or bookmarks.
The Classics: A simple, handwritten note or a homemade card is often the most cherished gift of all!
