MSCR is a department of the Madison Metropolitan School District

and was established in 1926.

Dear Residents:

As another year winds down, I reflect upon the special people who make MSCR such a dynamic

organiza-tion – the MSCR staff From program assistants working continually with customers and staff, to full time

program managers, to thousands of seasonal workers out “in the field,” these are the people who make it

happen here at MSCR They are an amazing crew of individuals sharing their talents and passion with the

Madison community I am so fortunate to have such a dedicated, professional and caring staff bringing

public recreation programs to you, our constituents!

Please take a look at the many activities, including many new ones that the MSCR staff have organized to

help keep you active during the upcoming winter months I invite you to join MSCR as we start our 87th

year of service in 2013, working to keep Madison a great place to live and play!

us to take a step At MMSD we encourage our students to be engaged with their learning, their school and their life

This MSCR guide is a perfect example of engagement that goes beyond the classroom, and involves every age group MSCR provides hundreds of opportunities for our community to engage These opportunities allow for all of us, both youth and adult, to engage our minds and bodies in activity that improves our health and well-being MSCR activities also help us to engage with each other as residents of this wonderful city-that personal interaction that adds to the richness of our life

I hope you will use this guide to assist you in planning to stay active and engaged over the winter months in Madison It is a great season-enjoy!

Sincerely,

Jane Belmore Interim Superintendent, MMSD
