The Madeira Schools Foundation unites parents, alumni, and community members to support excellence in Madeira City Schools — funding opportunities, technology, scholarships, and experiences that help every student thrive.

💛💙 Thank You, Madeira Community! 💙💛

On behalf of the Madeira Schools Foundation, thank you to our parents, students, alumni, faculty, and community members for the incredible outpouring of support during our #GiveForKitchen Giving Tuesday campaign.
Your generous donations, and the heartfelt stories and memories you shared, have created a beautiful tribute to our 2025 Distinguished Staff Award recipient, Mr. Bob Kitchen, who continues to make a meaningful impact on our students and schools each and every day.
Reading your favorite “Mr. Kitchen moments” reminded us just how deeply he has shaped the Madeira experience. Your gifts and your words both honor his ongoing dedication and help us continue supporting excellence across the district.

✨ If you missed Giving Tuesday, there’s still time!

You can continue to share a story or make a donation on the Madeira Schools Foundation here through the weekend.
Every memory and contribution helps celebrate Mr. Kitchen and supports the mission of the Madeira Schools Foundation which is to provide scholarships to seniors and alumni, classroom innovation, teacher development, and student learning experiences.
Thank you for celebrating Mr. Kitchen with us, uplifting the Foundation’s work, and showing once again what makes Madeira so special. We are grateful for you today and every day
💛💙
