Madison Elementary School opened its doors to students in September, 1952. There were three primary teachers and a teaching Principal. All four classrooms were full and a waiting list of kindergarten children was established after the kindergarten reached sixty students. In September 1953, three more classrooms were added and Madison School added double sessions to accommodate Riverside's rapidly increasing population. By 1956, six more classrooms were added and the enrollment soared to 580 students. The second grade students were all bused to Mountain View Elementary School. In 1958, the school library was created and a part-time librarian added to the Madison staff. During the summer of 1967, Palm School closed its doors and many of the students were transferred to Madison for the 1976-77 school year. Beginning in the 1987-88 school year, our school received students from the Woodcrest, Orangecrest and Mockingbird Canyon areas of Riverside.

Students will make cards for dialysis patients. 

Mission: The purpose of this community service project is to encourage members of Friends of Dialysis to go out into their neighborhoods, and clean-up the surrounding areas. A few good places to start a clean up include a children’s playground, the beach, trails for hiking, walking, running, and much more. Our communities around us can always use some cleaning up, so that we can preserve and maintain the environment and habitats around us.

Members will also be awarded the appropriate amount of service hours. 

Who:   Family Service Association delivers meals to community seniors who are unable to get out of their homes due to illness, incapacity, disability or restrictions from COVID-19. Seniors, who live in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, will appreciate a cheerful greeting card along with their meal. We are looking for about 3,000 cards.  

What:  Cards with artwork, designs or crafty graphics are appreciated.  It is OK to use stickers, decals or other craft supplies that adequately stick to the card.  (Please NO glitter or confetti.)  Adults, teens or children can make the cards.

When:  Cards can be created at your home on your schedule. We are hoping to have cards in hand by December 31 and another group by March 31 to distribute to our nutrition sites.

Greeting: Cards may have a simple greeting (such as Have a Great Day, Thinking of You, A Smile from My House to Yours, You’re Amazing, etc.) or a philosophical quotation. These are NOT Get Well cards.  They are to cheer up seniors who may be even more alone during COVID-19.

Size: Any size card is good that is not larger than an 8½” X 11”sheet of paper. (2 cards or 4 postcard-size cards made from one 8 1/2” X 11” sheet is great.) No envelope is required. 

Signing cards: If you like, you may sign your FIRST NAME or the name of your GROUP but do NOT include personal information about yourself (address, etc.)

Other items: We have some Spanish-speaking clients, so bilingual cards are also needed.  Bookmarks are also appreciated and Crossword/Sudoku magazines.

Supplies:  We do not have a budget for this project nor for shipping. Any items around your house may be used. We appreciate your time and generosity and can give you a donation receipt if needed for supplies and shipment.

Where to Deliver:  Contact me [Kathy.Knox@fsaca.org or (951) 275-5055] for delivery to our main site or to determine the closest center near your location.  We are located in Southern California and would love your help. If you are NOT in Riverside or San Bernardino counties, you would need to send your cards via USPS, FedEx or UPS at your cost to the address below.  Many thanks for your support!
