    Over 250 Madill ECC and Elementary students have taken advantage of a summer program offered by Madill Public Schools.

    Wildcat University is being held for Pre-K through 5th grade students throughout the month of June. Certified teachers work with small groups of students to sharpen reading, writing, and math skills in the mornings, while fun enrichment activities take up the afternoons.

    Students have the opportunity to participate in various activities: including STEM, which involves robotics and drones, physical activities such as games and yoga. Other enrichment activities offered are board games, sewing, cooking, Spanish, chess, story time, and crocheting.

    One afternoon each week students have the opportunity to cool off with friends at the Madill City Pool.
