Madison Public Schools Assisting Fire Victims

(Editor’s note: This story was first published on Friday and it’s being republished in case you missed it.)

Earlier this week two house fires were reported in Madison on Tuesday within minutes of one another.

The fires were at Durham Road and 177 Concord Drive, and the houses were badly damaged, the New Haven Register reports.

Now the Madison Public Schools community is stepping in to assist.

On Friday, Superintendent of Schools Thomas Scarice sent a message to all Madison parents asking for help.

“On behalf of the PTO and Daniel Hand High School Football Boosters Club we want to inform parents that both organizations are seeking monetary donations and gift cards for the family in town who lost their home to a fire this week. Anyone who would like to make a monetary donation can write a check out to the DHHS Football Boosters Club – please put a note in the memo of the check that it is for the collection. Gift cards and donations can be dropped off in the high school’s main office.

Your generosity is much appreciated!”
