ASPIRE NY Visit ASPIRE Visit
Don McPherson with ASPIRE NY along with Clark Oliver from the NYS Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence stopped in to talk with students about Aspirational Masculinity. This discussed how students should embrace their whole self and others’ whole selves as it is a key to understanding one another. Students truly had their eyes opened as they realized there’s more to them than just the shell that’s visible to the outside world. Thank you so much for coming!

Connected Madison enjoyed a day cheering on Colgate Women’s Basketball during the annual Kids Day Celebration! Grades 1-5 enjoyed a very close game, lunch and ice cream provided by Gilligan's Restaurant, and cool swag from Colgate as we cheered on the Lady Raiders! Students also were able to see their very own Mrs. Jecko in a free throw contest, and Mr. Matteson won the grand prize in a free throw musical chairs competition! Such a great day at Colgate!
