A new addition this year is the milk 400 for the sprinters which is a milk every 100 meters for a total of 400 meters. Following the milk meet we will have end of semester awards ceremony.

Volunteering opportunities
- Project Wingspan - Project Wingspan is an organization working to help support migrating monarchs and the imperiled rusty-patched bumble bee populations throughout the Midwest. Michael Smith is now a certified team lead, and will be assembling a group of cows to journey out into the great unknown and collect native seeds throughout the coming summer and fall. If you are interested (as I suspect you are) the first step is to complete a ~2 hour training module linked here. Then sign up on the volunteer spreadsheet!
- RACE - This year we will be continuing our partnership with RACE (running with autism in the community and everywhere). This has been a wonderful and rewarding opportunity in years past for cows to run and create strong bonds with kids living with autism in our community. Volunteering will take place Saturday mornings from 9-10AM starting on April 10th. If you are interested in this awesome volunteer opportunity, fill out the form!
- Summer Track Series – If you’re in Madison this summer, we could use your help volunteering at our community track meets we put on for the Madison community! Be on the lookout for a signup sheet to come out soon.
