Following our recent PTO meeting, the board wanted to share a few items with the McKinley community for transparency.

We appreciate the many parents, teachers, and volunteers who help organize and run the programs and events that support our students.

To help make this event a success, we’ve created an Amazon Wishlist with items needed for games, prizes, and activities.

If you’re able to contribute, please consider purchasing an item directly from our wishlist. Items will be shipped straight to us, making it easy and convenient to support!  WISH LIST

A huge thank you to the McKinley community for coming out to support the student actors of Willy Wonka Jr.! 

A very special thank you to all the show day volunteers - we could not have run the shows without you. Thank you for stepping up and volunteering your time. 

Parents, stay tuned for information on an upcoming "friendraiser"/parent get-together.

The Drama Committee is made up of seven working moms who just wanted to see the tradition of a school musical continue at McKinley. Six of us have zero theater experience - but we have a lot of patience, a sense of humor, determination and a love for showing kids the power of theater. Does this sound like you? If so, we'd love to talk - we need parents of younger students to join us to make sure the musical can continue. Email us at mckinleydramaclub370@gmail.com to see how you may be able to help. 

Recess Visits:

The garden will be open for spring recess visits on Wednesdays beginning April 8th! Many of our students enjoy these visits, only made possible with volunteer help. Please consider signing up if you are able! Volunteer sign up pages are linked below:

April recess visits (4/15)
May recess visits (5/6, 5/13, 5/20, 5/27)

Join McKinley's Virtual Lost & Found Google photo album. This album is updated weekly with pictures of every item in the Lost & Found. Comment on the photo to claim your student's item and it will be returned to them.

Please remember to label all hoodies, jackets, water bottles, and lunchboxes! Any labeled items are quickly returned to students. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the month. Thank you!
