The boys Varsity Volleyball team is $663 away from their goal for equipment!! If it’s not fully funded by Saturday, February 28, then “donors choose” will take the fundraiser down & all people who have donated will receive a refund. The boys have worked very hard to get it down to $663 and we’re just hoping to finish this up & be able to get them the things that will help them be more successful in this spring 2026 Season.

This team is working to raise all the money for their own jerseys($2400), all the home game ref fees ($800-900). So they asked donors choose for help in the equipment.

We are looking for 2-3 companies to sponsor them to aid in these costs. If you or anyone you know can help guide us, please let us know. 586-630-6073.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHOS DONATED SO FAR.

Help me give my students a Great first season of Boys Volleyball at MHS! We have an amazing group of young male athletes who have been begging and fighting for Boys Volleyball to return to our High...

Madison’s family first Challenge:

Idea: Today’s idea is a little different.

Remind the family of giving back, acts of service and kindness.

Option 1- Help your children go through their old books, find any they no longer want/need & take them to a local “free little library”.

Madison heights has many of them placed all around the city. A couple we know of:

1-Madison Elementary on the east side of the bldg by the back parking lot

2-Wilkinson middle school in front of the bldg

3-at the corner of Park Court & Jennifer

4-on the road into the Nature Center on 13 mile.

OPTION 2- Speaking of little libraries- Many of them hold food items! These little libraries are for local families in need of assistance, such as the one on park court (1.5 blocks north of 11) on the east side of the street.

**where else do we have LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES? Please add in the comments more little libraries around the city.

OPTION 3- Go through your kitchen/pantry cupboards, find shelf stable food items you don’t need/want & drop them at a little free library that takes food items (park court as example), OR… The Madison Heights Food Pantry which has 5 donation sites placed around the city. They even have bins at Central Church on 12 mile you can donate into. Please make sure nothing requires refrigeration bc people check the bins regularly but aren’t there 24/7 so anything requiring that would potentially spoil. **always check the food Isn’t expired**

OPTION 4- Write Valentine’s Day cards for the Seniors at the Senior Towers or active adult center. This would be a great way to brighten the day of our older neighbors & teach our kids about kindness. You can get more info about this by either calling them directly or contacting us. We can help you make this possible if you would like to & need help.

OPTION 5- Shoveling snow for neighbors who haven’t yet. This both cleans our sidewalks but also helps some neighbors who maybe are elderly, disabled etc & cannot afford services by companies.

OPTION 6- Make a Valentine’s Day box for your local garbage men, mail carrier etc. leave it for them when you expect them the wk before Valentines to Thank them for their hard work.

OPTION 7- Make a box of goodies for your local police department, fire house etc. Thanking those who keep us safe.

THE POINT OF THIS, is remembering we are teaching the next generation of leaders, helping hands & givers. Show them the least commonly spoken about ways to give back. The ways they will see their acts make a difference. Donating to charities is amazing and beautiful, but this is a more hands on, direct way. What other ways do you suggest? Let us hear your ideas & what your family does to give back!!

Madison’s family first challenge!!

Idea!!
Make valentines boxes for each person living in your home. This is a fun activities where you can use shoe boxes, Amazon boxes etc & make a fun box that stays in your home now thru Valentines. Then on Valentine’s Day you open your box & see all the cards and little notes your family has dropped inside over the next 2 weeks!!

Make sure you make cards for each other and drop in lots of little notes and cards and reminders that you’re thinking of them. So when they open their box in Valentine’s Day they have lots to read.

It’s. 3 in 1 activity.
1- an afternoon or evening, you spend making the box.
2-Spend 1 day or everyday write little notes and cards in all your families boxes
3-day 3 is valentines when you sit around reading the cards and notes everyone put in ur box.

Share with us pictures of your box & let us see how creative you got with household items! (Pro tip- the dollar store has lots of cheap and cute decorative things to add to ur boxes like pink wrapping paper and little stickers. Give each kid $10-20 and let them go wild picking their decorations).

MADISONS FAMILY FIRST CHALLENGE

IDEA: Take an Old suitcase, box, case of any kind. Have your child decorate it and put their name on it. They can use paint, pictures, fabric, decoupage, etc. use this box to keep all your favorite momentos from their childhood in. One day when they are grown they will love opening this treasure chest of goodies.

We keep:
-art work we find special (or hilarious), we put their age and the year on the back and sometimes write the story that goes with it. So when we look back at it in 10+ years we remember why it’s so silly or funny.

-awards

-pictures

-programs from concerts

-tickets, wristbands etc from concerts, events etc

-Any special item that goes along with a fun memory we want to make sure they remember forever

**pictured are very fancy ones you can find on Etsy or Pinterest but they don’t need to be fancy. I do suggest making sure they are a good size tho,… bc once u start saving items u wont want to stop. It’s a time capsule of their childhood. They will love it one day. I still have my cookbook my 2nd grade class made. It’s one of my favorite things from my childhood.

It’s also a fun way to discuss some of your child’s favorite family moments so far & help you see what they value most about all the experiences they have had to date.

💜💛tag us and let us see your memory/keepsake boxes and use hashtag

WE NEED 20-30 PARENTS/VOLUNTEERS TO HELP BRING A MUCH BELIVED CHILDHOOD EVENT BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL!!

We want to remind even the biggest of our Eagle family how innocent and amazing being a child is. Remember when we all lined our vehicles up, decorated them with themes and passed out candy? Parents drank hot chocolate as we “oooh & awww” over all our adorable babies in their costumes…. Now we can do the same with them before they are off to adult life.

Please email the Parent Boosters or text 586-630-6073 so you can register for the event.

**Non parents welcome, alumni & community friends. Message us to find out how!!!
