Madison Central School will be holding its annual food drive in
December through spirit week, which ends on December 22nd.
Grades 6-12 will compete against one another to see who can raise the
most food and money in that time frame. All items will go towards
spirit points, which are awarded based on the size of the item. T
his year, we are also accepting monetary donations, with 1 spirit point
awarded for every dollar. Please turn in all donations to your
 class advisor's classroom. Items will be donated to a local food bank.
Some of the cute, anyone can do it, designs available for the
DIY Ornament Gift Craft! After you create you ornament, decorate the bag
to become gift wrap, and you're ready to go with a gift for someone special!


Annual Children's Shopping Day: Saturday, December 11!
From 10am until 2pm, children from preschool through sixth grade
are invited to come to Creekside and shop for brand new items for their
parents, grandparents, and siblings! Located at 105 Madison St in Oriskany
Falls, across from Tallman's Diner, we have loads of brand new items, priced
for the kids to buy, at 25 cents to $2.00, in our workroom at Creekside. Bring
 the kids down and give them a lesson in giving and finance at the same time.
They'll have a great time and so will we! They can do their shopping at low
cost to Mom and Dad! Our Christmas decoration room is also overflowing!
Check out our selection while you're there. And we also have many
new items and gift baskets available as well for all to purchase. Creekside
reserves the right to limit quantities  so all children have the same chance
 to shop. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope to see you all soon.
All monies generated at Creekside go back into the community.
Creekside is a mission of the Oriskany Falls United Methodist Church.

Russell Oechsle’s private collection of wooden cased shelf clocks from Madison County clockmaker masters- William Dexter, Horace Dexter and Carter & Weller of Stockbridge, and L.&J.

From: It Takes A Village Diaper Bank
Hello wonderful Diaper Bank community!!
I just wanted to share this picture with you all to show how extremely
wonderful,thoughtful, caring and giving our community is. Our clothing racks
 for the Pass It On store have become so jam packed with clothing that we
cannot even hang all of the donations anymore. We are so thankful for all of
you. I'd say this is a good problem to have, but the truth is, the real problem is
that we know there are families out there who need these clothes for their
infants and toddlers, but they just cannot make it to the store for one reason
or another. Because we have been overly and abundantly blessed,
 this holiday season we are going to try something new. If you know of
a family that is in need of a little boost, send us a message through Facebook
messenger with this simple information: Size, boy or girl, and an address
for delivery. Have your message sent to us by Monday, December 13th.
We will put all of the suggestions into a drawing and pick 5 families.
This number 5 is symbolic of how the diaper bank was created with reaching
out to just 5 families for diaper support, and look how far we have come!
The clothing bags will be delivered to the 5 families chosen on December 17th!
If your suggestion is not chosen, don't worry! You can still visit us on
 Mondays and Wednesdays from 3-5 and make your own bag to deliver to
 someone in need. Help us spread the love this Holiday season, thanks in
advance!! ** Deliveries will be discreet and confidential**

Thank you to the MPS PTA for organizing the Penguin Holiday Shop

Last weekend another awesome win was earned by the Marshall Mavericks Cheerleaders. All four teams competed in Erie PA and all four teams brought home first place medals and $3,000 in rebel cheer shoes. The Jr Bombsquad team also won best tumbling, grand champion and a full paid bid to the one cheer and dance finale.
