Co-Presidents' Update
February is finally here! Spring is a bit closer, and one of McKinley's favorite events occurs in just a few short weeks - Family Fun Night. Many hands are needed to make this event a success, please consider volunteering a bit of your time. Details can be found below!
We are still looking for a couple of people to help with teacher appreciation week in May. We are in search of a couple creative people to help brainstorm ideas to honor the teachers. We are also in search of people to help implement the creative ideas. If you can lend a hand even for an hour or two please email us at tosamckinleypto@gmail.com
We would also like to remind families that the rules put in place by Safe Routes to School are important to insure the safety of our children. We ask that you please follow the rules at all times, and respond with kindness if staff or volunteers remind you of these rules.

The Publishing Center Needs Your Help
We need Editors, Typists and Publishers. The students love their keepsake books, but the Publishing Center requires the work of many hands to be successful. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Lori Brandenburg at Crashburg@yahoo.com. Thank you!
Looking for a fun and social event to help beat the winter blues? Join other McKinley parents at a book cover making party. Kristi Knoedler will be hosting two cover making parties for the Publishing Center on Wednesday, February 3, from 9:00am to 11:30am and 6:30pm to 9:00pm. Come when you can, leave when you must. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please contact Kristi Knoedler at kristiknoedler@gmail.com if you plan to attend. Thank you!
Please consider bringing in a treat for our teachers
We all appreciate our teachers and staff of McKinley Elementary School. Please show your appreciation by signing up to bring a treat to the teacher lounge for them to enjoy! It can be whatever you want the treat to be ~ cookies, fruit, veggie trays, bagels, cheese and sausage, popcorn, breads, snack mix, etc. Along with your treat please have your child make a sign with their name and teacher's name on it so the teacher's know who to thank!
