Honor an Educator via the Madison Education Foundation!
Do you have a graduating 5th grader? Is there a teacher who helped your child develop a passion for art, music or STEM? Is there an administrator or counselor who helped you navigate a difficult situation?
A donation to MEF in honor of the teachers, counselors, and administrators who have made a positive difference in your child's life is a wonderful way to give thanks for all our educators do for our kids. All educators named in donations to MEF in May will receive a personalized acknowledgment. Learn more about MEF's Honor an Educator Campaign and make a donation HERE.
