Schools Make Madison Summit 2024

This was a free event.

The 2nd Annual Schools Make Madison Summit, held on April 25th, 2024 at Thermo Fisher Scientific, was an electrifying convergence of educators, policymakers, innovators, and community stakeholders, all dedicated to revolutionizing education in Madison and beyond. The 150+ attendees were immersed in some perhaps unknown realities about school funding and budgets, the vital role social workers have in student success, and the mechanisms of the school nutrition program.

Attendees were immersed in learning about some perhaps unknown realities, creating a sense of awe and inspiration for all that is accomplished in our schools.

Past Attendee Testimonial:
“I wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic summit, and also express my gratitude as an attendee! Immediately after, I called my mom who is a retired educator and children’s healthcare lobbyist, and told her about how inspired I was by the programming. The need to do better for our children was the heartbeat felt throughout. The panelists were fantastic, the topics challenging and informative.” – Anne Ehrhart, SLED representative, Google public sector

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.
