If you are brave, this is the place for you.

If you are willing to take risks and make mistakes, this is the place for you.

If you manage a 21st-century classroom, congratulations! I do too.

If you care about your students more than you care about coloring inside the lines of tradition,

this is the place for you.

Welcome!

Moms In Touch-Praying for Your Kids

Moms In Touch is an international organization started by a mom who was concerned for her children in school. She started meeting with other moms once a week to pray for their kids.
We use the example of Moms In Touch and meet once a week here at Madison Campus Elementary.


Every Tuesday morning at 8:00 we meet to pray for the students attending Madison Campus Elementary and Madison Academy. On these days, notebooks with the student’s prayer requests are collected from the classrooms and prayed over, as well as any issues that the office brings to our attention. Prayer needs of Madison Academy are also collected and prayed over during our prayer time. All prayer request are considered confidential and are kept between those attending and God.

In the last few years we have had several regular attendees, including moms, grandmothers, even a father has been present in years past. Our principal also attends, when time allows. Anyone who has a passion for our children and their spiritual growth is welcome to attend. It is not necessary to have the title of "mom."

At the first part of ever year our Moms In Touch group organizes Meet Me At the Pole. On this day, all of the students and teachers of MCE and MA meet in the ball field between the two schools and a prayer is lifted for them. Parents are invited to this event, as well as pastors from the area churches. This event this year will be held on Wednesday, September 24 at 8:00 am.

The goal of Moms in Touch is to lift students up in prayer, let them know that we are praying for them, and give them another opportunity to be actively involved in prayer and see their prayers answered. Over the past few years we have seen many prayers answered and continue to see God working in our schools.
