                                                        Each year, we host two breakfasts—one for
                                                        elementary and one for middle school—before
                                                        the start of the WASL (now the MSP). It’s a
                                                        chance for our families to support, encourage,
                                                        and nourish our students as they prepare to
                                                        demonstrate their academic achievement.

                                                        schools in Seattle. Our writers publish regularly
                                                        throughout the school year. In 2008, our 7th
                                                        grade students had the highest WASL writing

Partnerships
Madrona K-8 is fortunate to have broad community support that helps our
students to excel in their endeavors. These services go hand-in-hand with
the educational needs of a child in order to provide a stable environment in
which to succeed. These partners are critical to our success and we thank
them for their dedication and contribution.
