VARIETY SHOW MEETING ON SEPT 26
Variety Show Planning Meeting
When: September 26th from 6:00 – 7:00pm
Where: Mrs Driskell’s Band Room
"A Little Bit of Somethin" Community Variety Show has been a McKinley tradition stretching back to the 1970’s. The show serves two purposes: 1) to encourage students, parents, family members, friends and neighbors to audition and entertain the McKinley community and 2) to raise money for the McKinley fine arts department. Past funds raised have helped refurbish the auditorium and sound equipment, repair and purchase instruments, and to support guest clinicians that benefit all students. (Current fundraising goals are to raise enough money to upgrade the stage flooring.)
The show is scheduled for March 7 and the planning process is starting now. We need help in many different areas. Please join us and find out more about the event and how you can help. We hope to make this a very successful event for our school!
HELP STAFF CONCESSIONS
Last year over $2000 was raised for McKinley through concession sales. Funds raised are used towards the many extra-curricular activities available for our students.
We would really appreciate your help in selling concessions at the McKinley sporting events this year. Please help cheer on our students and support our school! If you have a student in a sporting program at McKinley, it is super easy to help out and watch the game at the same time. Please help cheer on our students and support our school! Go Bears!
