VARIETY SHOW RECAP
The Variety Show committee would like to thank everyone who helped make the Variety Show a successful fundraiser and wonderful show of the many talents we have here at McKinley. Whether you brought a case of water, donated to the silent auction, made cookies for the bake sale, sold tickets, or served hot dogs to some very hungry stage hands – we could not have done it without you!
Special Thanks to Jackie Mason for donating the awesome quilt she spent hours making from memorable McKinley t-shirts she and staff collected over the years, and to the McKinley staff who brought it to the stage and participated in the 1st Annual Epic Lip Sync Battle. What a wonderful tribute to our kids and to our school to have such support! Kids – you were all great! Keep shining bright!
