“Since 2011, WIDA has been fortunate to share an invaluable Adopt a School relationship with Midvale Elementary. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of not just collaborating and connecting with educators, but also with students through our volunteer work in classrooms and at school events. Through events like educator roundtables, we’ve gained valuable insight into how to better support educators, students, and families.” 

– Rachel Maske, Finance Coordinator, WIDA

Unlocking Potential Through Literacy

Imagine starting a race with your shoes untied. You might stumble, fall behind, or even stop altogether. Now, imagine that race is a child’s education—and literacy is the tied shoe that keeps them moving forward. Literacy is not just about reading books; it is a gateway skill that unlocks doors to education, career opportunities, and lifelong success.

Alumni: Bill Gardner

From walking into a student sit-in on his first day at West High to earning a conference championship in college basketball, Bill Gardner’s journey has been shaped by the strong foundation of his Madison public school education. A 1971 graduate of West, Bill went on to a successful career in civil engineering after earning his degree from UW-Platteville. His deep appreciation for education stems not only from his own experiences but also from his father’s career in the Madison school district. Now retired, Bill reflects on the impact of dedicated educators and remains proud of his Madison roots.
