Growing Resilient Learners, One Project at a Time
Badger Rock Middle School needs your help!
The Friends of Badger Rock is asking for contributions to our current fundraising campaign, Growing Resilient Learners, designed to support a program of activities for Badger Rock scholars, families, and staff during the academic year, after school, and Saturday school.
Your generosity will help us ensure innovative educational programming!

Our Urban Agriculture program is more than just gardening—it's a hands-on learning experience that empowers scholars to cultivate a healthier, more equitable neighborhood. Through immersive education, they learn how to grow their food, develop essential culinary skills, and tackle critical issues of food justice. By supporting this program, you're helping us create sustainable communities and giving our scholars the tools to build a brighter, greener future for everyone.

Our Financial Wellness program is more than just a class; it's a real-world journey that teaches and inspires scholars to unlock their entrepreneurial potential. Through hands-on learning, they discover how to build their own businesses and become social entrepreneurs—using their gifts to create positive change in their communities. We equip them with essential skills in money management, budgeting, saving, and investing, empowering them to take control of their financial future and make a lasting impact.

We believe learning should extend beyond the school week. Our Saturday School Enrichment Program is the only one of its kind in the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD), and is offered two times a month; last year, it served nearly 200 scholars. What truly makes it special is that scholars choose to be here, finding a sense of belonging and camaraderie with their friends and teachers. It's a vibrant space where scholars can thrive. Scholars get dedicated, one-on-one or small group support from their teachers on school projects, spend quality time with friends, and gain valuable life skills. A unique highlight of the program is the opportunity for scholars to cook a meal in our state-of-the-art culinary lab—learning teamwork and nutrition in a fun, hands-on way.
A Message From Our Principal
“I am committed to cultivating a deep sense of connection and belonging where all students feel welcomed, safe, and included. We will prioritize communicating our mission and core values while managing the tensions between adopting and implementing innovative practices (i.e., project-based learning and environmental justice) within the larger traditional school system.”
With gratitude,
Joseph Rosas
