The Silver Mile Run is the largest fundraiser for the P-H-M Education Foundation and all the proceeds go towards providing innovative P-H-M teaching grants, scholarships to students, staff development, and other corporation-wide initiatives.

Presenting sponsor Saint Joseph Health System will offer free health screenings including body mass index and blood sugar! Other area businesses will also be on hand to showcase health and fitness related activities, resources and services. 

After a fun day, leave with great bargains purchased at the Silent Auction. The P-H-M student talent showcase is always a crowd pleaser. Last year, the student groups included Horizon Show Choir, Bittersweet Cardio Drummers, Elm Road Jumping Eagles, Meadow’s Edge Dancers, and Penn High School Dancers.

The Silver Mile Bubble Bash is a chance for P-H-M families and local community members to get together and show their support for excellence in education in all P-H-M schools.  Proceeds are returned to P-H-M schools by awarding innovative teacher grants, scholarships to students, staff development and other corporation-wide initiatives.

Madison Students enjoyed FITS day on June 4. FITS stands for Fun in the Sun. Students rotated through several stations. Parents volunteers and the MTFD – Madison Township Fire Department helped make the day special. 

Madison Volunteers were honored with a breakfast and a small gift from PTO. Students in every grade at Madison prepared a special way to thank Volunteers for their service this year. Mr. McMillen shared,  “Words can not express my gratitude for all the volunteers this year. When this year started, I wanted to see more people in the building. You all certainly heard that call and benefited our students. Thank you!”

One of the most coveted awards at Madison is the 
WORK LIKE A WISLER AWARD.
