🌿🦋 Thank You, Ruth Patrick! 🦋🌿 Madison Elementary would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to retired teacher Ruth Patrick for the incredible time, passion, and dedication she shared with our students and community throughout the 2025–2026 school year! Mrs. Patrick continued making a difference through her work with the PHS Native Roots Club, Monarch Butterflies, and the Mid-Ohio Valley Climate Action Committee (MOVCA). 🌱🌎🦋 Through hands-on learning, environmental education, and a love for nature, she helped inspire students to become thoughtful stewards of the world around them. Her willingness to continue sharing her knowledge and passion long after retirement is truly something to celebrate. Thank you, Mrs. Patrick for continuing to teach, inspire, and make a difference! 💚 Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and our community is better because of you! 🌎🌱🦋 #ThankYouMrs.Patrick #MadisonMustangs #NativeRoots #MonarchButterflies #MOVCA #EnvironmentalEducation #MakingADifference
