Supporting the Whole Child
A Winning Investment in Every Child
On November 7, the lights will shine, the cards will be dealt, and the spirit of Midnight in Monte Carlo will come alive—but the evening’s most meaningful investment will be in the children at the heart of The Madeleine.
This year’s Paddle Raise will support The Madeleine Whole Child Initiative, a schoolwide effort to educate and nurture every student—academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Rather than funding a single project, your generosity will strengthen the people, programs, spaces, and experiences that help every child feel known, supported, and inspired to flourish.
Where Your Gift Makes a Difference
Celebrating Literacy & Language
Our library and language programs open doors to imagination, curiosity, and connection. Paddle Raise funds will help transform our library with new flooring, furniture, displays, books, and materials, while also expanding Spanish curriculum, resources, and Spanish-language enrichment for students.
Wellness
We want every child to have the tools and resources they need to thrive emotionally and physically. Paddle Raise gifts will provide counseling and wellness resources, student wellness programming, PE and Wellness curriculum and equipment, digital safety and media literacy programming, and schoolwide social-emotional learning opportunities.
Learning Support
Every learner is unique. Your support will help create classrooms where students have access to the tools and environments they need to learn and regulate successfully. Funds will support sensory and regulation resources, classroom tools, Learning Support materials, education around learning differences and inclusion, and parent education.
Faith & Belonging
At The Madeleine, we believe children flourish when they feel a strong connection to their faith, their school, and one another. Gifts will support faith formation, student retreats, and curriculum and experiences that strengthen community, belonging, relationships, and understanding.
So, old sport, this is your invitation to raise the stakes and help us reach our $55,000 goal—an investment in the spaces, resources, programs, and experiences that help every Madeleine student thrive.
And what could be more magnificent than that?
