Website Donators | Thanks to our Volunteers

THANKS TO OUR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEERS AND CONTRIBUTORS

May 1, 2009

Ad Ventures Marketing, Inc. is proud to have donated the services to make this new Madrona Technology website possible.

In close collaboration with Madrona staff and students, our creative team designed the website to include a blog section so that Madrona tech students can handle many website updates themselves. Much of the photo art was done by Madrona's own tech students. A special thanks goes out to Tech Department's Monica Edwards for her helpful input and infectious enthusiasm. Monica oversees staying on top of the latest technologies for the Madrona yearbook, the MMB, and her technology department website. The site itself was built by our web developers to state-of-the-art industry standards as a working example for students to learn from and emulate.

Every year, Ad Ventures receives many requests to donate our talents to worthy causes - far more than we could hope to fulfill as a small family owned business. However, it was an easy choice for us to help with the new Madrona Technology website. My husband Alex and I have seen the hope and promise in our two daughters nurtured and guided under the banner of the Madrona Bears. We've seen first-hand how Madrona School helps students to master new and emerging technology for future life and career success. As owners of a marketing and web development company, we know the critical importance of this educational mission and support it whole-heartedly. Creating a highly-functional, visually-pleasing new website that Madrona students find "cool" and parents find easy to use is our way of giving back to the community which has given our family so much.

Let us know what you think! E-mail Alex and I at work@AdVenturesDesign.com. We'd love to hear your comments and suggestions.

See you in the halls... and GO BEARS!
