What's CITY Talking About?
🚗 Madison’s Newest Mobiles
- Madison School and Community Recreation is adding two new vehicles to its Madison Mobile program to spread free summer fun. “Clay on the Move” and “Play on the Move” will be dropping by parks throughout the city.
- The new chariots will feature a plethora of activities, from building with clay to different yard games for kids of all ages.
- And if you’re a pottery aficionado with some extra time, MSCR is looking for volunteers. [15 WMTV]
📚 Growth Through Collaboration
- Madison, Lake Mills, and Middleton-Cross Plains school districts, are collaborating with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to help teachers earn their master’s degrees at no cost.
- Teachers who opt for additional schooling are committing to return to their home school districts as principal or assistant principal for a minimum of two years. [Wisconsin State Journal 🔒]
🥎 Home Opener For The Madison Night Mares
- The Madison Night Mares are facing off against the La Crosse Steam this Sunday for opening day of Northwoods League Softball’s new women’s collegiate tournament.
