CONCESSION HELP FOR GIRLS BASKETBALL
We are looking for volunteers to help staff the concession stand during basketball games. The table is set up so you can easily watch the games while selling snacks and drinks. Please help support McKinley - Go Bears! Students can help but need to be accompanied by an adult and passing their classes.
***If you are interested in volunteering please complete and return the required volunteer form to Jackie Mason, Volunteer Coordinator. Once on file, you will not need to complete another one

DONATION REQUESTS
Makerspace is Coming to the IMC
A Makerspace is coming to the library! A Makerspace is a place where students will be able to create, explore, and share new ideas, projects, and technologies. We will have snap circuit kits, craft supplies, origami kits, a Makey Makey controller, a cardboard creation area, and so much more as the year goes on. Our initial funding came from a Donors Choose campaign that was funded in a matter of hours! If you’d like to contribute to our Makerspace, we have an Amazon Wish List available on the McKinley IMC website. (Go to the McKinley homepage, then go to Resources, then select Library.)

BF Needs Activity Chairs/Balance Balls for Classroom
Our Behavior Focused program is asking for donations to help purchase six activity chairs and six balance ball chairs. These seating options will help provide sensory output and assist students in staying focused while working. They will also help to create a classroom environment that meets our students needs while helping them stay engaged in academics. This increase in engagement will result in higher grades and a solid understanding in academic areas, as well as the opportunity to get the same education their peers are getting in the general education setting. To donate, please CLICK HERE. Feel free to share.
