Staff Weekly Updates 12/3/18
Mindset Monday
December has arrived! We have some exciting news!
STEM GRANT AWARD!!
We are SO very excited to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Alliance for Working Together Foundation for a Computer Science Immersion program at McKinley using LEGO Mindstorms Robotics! AWT and their partner organizations and businesses help connect schools STEAM to career options and resources!!
In addition, we will have a site visit from Code to the Future on January 11th. They are interested in possibly making McKinley a lighthouse school for their computer science immersion curriculum. This would be an amazing opportunity for our students and requires a selection process. I will keep you updated!
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for Harbor Holidays and especially all those who volunteered! Our 5th grade fundraising was extremely successful!!
