Presidents' Update
Dear McKinley Families,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Corey Boldt and Jenny Leigh for the creative minds behind the Art Series that is being rolled out to the McKinley Community. The first project is a portrait of your child's teacher - shhh....this is a surprise. Please remember to put the name of the teacher on the portrait, sign the portrait so we know whose drawing it belongs to. Then, email a photo of the portrait to either Corey Boldt or Jackie Rynish. The next newsletter will provide you with details on where the portraits will be displayed. Feel free to submit more than one drawing. All portraits are due on Thursday, April 9th.
In this edition of the PTO newsletter look for more information about:
-Meet the Construction Crew

We hope that you and your family continue to be healthy and safe. Remember, we are all in this together.
Kayla Merker and Mike Hansen

McKinley Food Pantry Update!
Please keep donating. McKinley keeps getting feedback from members of our community that the food pantry is greatly appreciated and utilized locally. When you pass Sendik’s please pick up a couple of extra items to add to the box on the corner of 90th and Meinecke.
Tosa Community Food Pantry at Mt. Zion church will accept food donations on Saturdays from 10-11. If our volunteers could check the box on Fridays. If there are more than about three bags of food in the box please bring donations to the Tosa community food pantry or any food pantry.
