Weather Warning Terms
The National Weather Service uses the words, "watch" and "warning" to alert you to potentially dangerous weather.
Watch - Be Alert!
A watch means weather conditions are favorable for dangerous weather to occur. In other words, a "watch" means watch out for what the weather could do, and be ready to act accordingly.
Warnings - Act Now!
A warning means the weather event is imminent or occurring somewhere in the defined warning area and that people need to take shelter as soon as possible.

BOX TOP TUESDAY
In March, the PTC launched their first ever Box Top Tuesday at McAuliffe. They are happy to report it was a huge success collecting 5,500 Box Tops!!!!
Help McAuliffe reach their monthly goal in April of 2,000 Box Tops by sending in 5 Box Tops on Tuesday, April 17th. The grade level that collects the most Box Tops by the end of the year will receive a special reward in May.
