The student body of Lake View Elementary is rich in diversity. One of its greatest strengths as a community school is that it tends incredibly well to that diversity. Students represent many nationalities, ethnicities, religions and cultures. Some have parents or grandparents who immigrated from elsewhere in the world, and many students are immigrants themselves.

Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is not easy. It is a journey that builds and tests the character, maturity and leadership of those seeking it. In order to earn the rank of Eagle, a scout must serve in a position of leadership, complete at least 21 merit badges, and lead a service project in the community. Recently I completed my service project on my path to Eagle Scout.

Madison voters will choose between Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and challenger Gloria Reyes Tuesday, April 4. A second challenger, city traffic engineering technician Scott Kerr, was eliminated during the Feb. 21 primary election, proud of spending less than $100 on the race.
Rhodes-Conway received 60% of the vote, Reyes earned 28%, and Kerr claimed 12%. The mayor said she was proud of the outcome, but Reyes reminded Madison residents that former mayor Paul Soglin earned the most votes in the primary four years ago but lost in the general election.
