Madison 3rd grade visited Eagle Creek to study water quality. They searched for macroinvertebrates, learned how to identify them, and played a Macro Mayhem game. Thank you to the Soil & Water Conservation District for leading the activities!
Madison 6th graders visited Eagle Creek to study water quality. Students conducted chemical tests on the water to determine phosphate and dissolved oxygen levels. They also searched for and identified macroinvertebrates. Thank you to Kosc. Soil & Water for your help! #Warsawinspires
Madison Kindergarteners visited Winona Lake to study nature and the water. Students went on a nature scavenger hunt, went bird watching, looked for macros in the lake, and played on the cool playground! Thank you to all the parents that helped especially those that braved the water! #warsawinspires
Madison 4th grade visited Eagle Creek behind Edgewood. They studied the creek by identifying macroinvertebrates. Students also learned about the harmful effects of invasive species. #warsawinspires
Madison Kindergarteners practiced putting on waders and searching for macroinvertebrates in the STEM Lab. They have a field trip next week at Cherry Creek in Winona. They are ready to GO! #WarsawInspires
Madison 2nd grade has been studying weather and the different types of snowflakes. They planned and designed their own snowflake and then transferred that drawing to Tinkercad where they were able to 3D print it. Thank you to our 5th grade buddies for helping the second graders learn the software! #WarsawInspires
For Mrs. Driscoll at Madison Elementary, the best part of kindergarten is welcoming new students into a loving school family! 💙
She still laughs about a student telling his parents what he learned on Groundhog's Day- “If the beaver sees his shadow, it means six more days of Christmas!” 😂
Every day is an adventure in kindergarten! Join us on April 2 at 6 PM for Kindergarten Kick-Off and start the journey!

Madison 4th graders participated in an electrical safety program at Kosciusko REMC. Employees used live demonstrations to explain what happens when your power goes out and how linemen restore electricity to your house. Different workers talked about their careers and educational paths. Thank you to KREMC!! #WarsawInspires #KosciuskoREMC
Madison 3rd graders have been studying landforms such as mountains, canyons, and lakes. They used Art to create and paint their landforms using dough as well as Digital Art with TinkerCad software to design a 3D printed example of their landform. Current science standards require students to make models of their learning so this was a nice blend of traditional and modern avenues to display what they have been studying. #WarsawInspires
Madison 6th graders participated in an orthopedic lab today led by employees of Orthopediatrics in Warsaw. They spoke about their careers as engineers and how their products are designed specifically for children. 6th graders then practiced drilling metal plates on plastic bones. Thank you to Orthopediatrics!! #WarsawInspires
Madison 6th graders completed an Engineering Project. Their challenge was to build a cardboard chair using cardboard and 1 roll of duct tape. They had certain measurement requirements: their seat had to be at least 14" high, have a backrest at 90 degrees, and hold at least 70lbs. Then they presented their chair to real engineers for feedback. Thank you to our volunteers for leading a STEM career talk as well. #WarsawInspires
Madison 5th graders were treated to the fruits(vegetables) of their labors. Students enjoyed a salad bar made entirely of their indoor gardening project planted in their own compost from the fall. They had a lettuce and carrot salad with some dressing. Cucumbers are still growing. So cool when you can eat your STEM projects! #WarsawInspires
Congratulations to our January Cardinals of the Month! #WarsawInspires
Congratulations to the talented students of Edgewood, Lakeview, and the 6th Grade Band for their outstanding performances at the Solo & Ensemble Contest held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Northwood High School.
Remarkably, all participating students earned a GOLD Division Rating, collectively bringing home 36 GOLD Medals.
Band director Mr. Peloza expressed his pride, stating, "I am so proud of all the students for their hard work and dedication in preparing their music."

Madison students traveled to space this week in the Digitarium. They learned about weather, planets, gravity, and the importance of our atmosphere for life on Earth. Madison Cardinals were the first humans to land on Mars!! Special thanks to the Region 8 Education Service Center for the use of their Digitarium.

Madison 3rd graders had the opportunity to dissect crayfish. They learned about habitat, external, and internal anatomy. Thank you to Mrs. Gough's WCHS students for leading this lab!
Congratulations to Madison Elementary students!! They were awarded a Red Apple Grant to purchase 29 new waders for their annual creek-study visits to Cherry and Eagle Creek. A special thank you to the Warsaw Education Foundation for this opportunity! We are excited to try them out this spring. #WarsawInspires
Madison 5th graders have a cool indoor garden growing from the compost they made this fall. Mrs. Hale's class is growing carrots; Rizzo's class is growing lettuce; Hendrikse's students are growing cucumbers. They tend their produce each day and note any changes. Students are also 3D printing custom made pots to start more seeds! This STEM project is incorporating agriculture and technology. #WarsawInspires
Madison 6th graders participated in a STEM challenge. They examined the structures of how towers are built. Then they had 7 minutes to build the tallest tower possible using index cards and tape. -Learning to work under pressure! Students were given roles(primary builder, materials specialist, and measurer) and then worked through STEM components: creating a model, collaboration, and data analysis. The tallest tower was 68 mm! #WarsawInspires
Madison Kindergarteners participated in an engineering lesson using Lego Duplos. Students built a seesaw to display science concepts: balanced & unbalanced. They tested their creation to help solve the problem: Why is the model seesaw not balancing correctly? #WarsawInspires
