Soon, the school buses will be rolling through town again as our kids are headed back to school this month! We love the new slogan that our Arabian students have chosen to represent them this year: "We Are One." Their goal is to provide an atmosphere where your background, political affiliation, or any other differences will not interfere with cheering on the Arabians. We hope that even if you don't have a student in the South Madison Community School Corporation, you can come out to support the students in the many sporting events and extracurricular activities happening this school year. Scroll on down to see what else our great community is doing this month!
