*What is a Sitzprobe?
Sitzprobe sounds like some sort of weird alien autopsy but it’s basically orchestra day where the kids get their first1/3/2025 chance to sing together with the live band.
MCT = Madrona's Children's Theatre
Tired of waiting forever to turn on 236th to get to school because there's no left turn arrow? Frustrated that the light takes over 5 minutes to change when leaving school because there's no sensor?
The intersection at 236th & SR-104 (Edmonds Way) is already being considered by the City of Edmonds for a left hand turn light this year. However, there are other intersections being considered that may be prioritized over ours. We, as parents, at Madrona, know how to band together and get things done. Let's show the City of Edmonds that our intersection should be a priority for improvements.
Below is the contact information for the City of Edmonds Transportation Engineer. Please write, call, or contact him to show him that this intersection is important! We've written a letter that you're welcome to use that is linked below as well.

Serve Up Delicious Dinners for Our Theater Crew!
We’re looking for someone (or some two? Could be a dual role if you wanted to team up.) to take the lead in organizing dinners during our Tech Weeks for WOZ team!
- Tech Week is a critical time for our actors
- We need your help to keep actors fueled with delicious, energizing meals after long days of school and rehearsals
- This fulfilling role supports the success of our production
- Use the provided budget to bring your dinner ideas to life
- Find deals at local restaurants or recruit families to provide a potluck
- Feed 100 students
- We have a sign-up genius for recruiting additional volunteers to help deliver and serve!
Students in grades K-8 can participate in this running (or walking) club!
Meet at the Madrona K-8 Track
- Bring your running/walking shoes
- Wear clothes to participate in
- Bring your own water bottle
- Have a good attitude!
The goal of the Madrona Miles Club is to provide a free, fun, and inclusive program where students can exercise with friends, improve their fitness, and learn about the importance of healthy living.
The club aims to foster a positive attitude toward physical activity, encourage regular exercise, and promote lifelong healthy habits in a supportive and social environment.
Students need to be registered for Madrona Miles Club this year so our school nurse can cross check for any health concerns. Register now
Madrona Miles Club is a DROP IN program, once you are registered, come when you can.
Care givers and family members are welcome (and encouraged!) to stay and walk/jog with their kids, but you can also drop them off and go.
