PTO NEWS
Fun Run is coming!
The top winner received movie passes for 10 people at the Scappoose movie theater. The top primary and top upper grade class will get a pizza party! There will also be many raffle prizes as well such as pizza gift cards and a skateboard! The class with the most spirit will win money for their classroom as well.
The event is next Friday, April 27th and it's a "Bubble Run" theme. This event takes many volunteers to run-- counting laps is FUN! Email mcbrideptopresident@gmail.com with questions.
Also, PTO is seeking new Board members for next year. They are also adding a new Board position, "Junior PTO Coordinator". The Jr. PTO is an enthusiastic and responsible group of kids and are a joy to work with!

Children's Mental Health Awareness Day - May 10th
May 10th is Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. To bring awareness to the importance of Children's Mental Health, Columbia Community Mental Health will be hosting an open house at our children's only facility, CCMH the Kid's Haven. The event will take place on May 10th from 5-7 pm. Community partners and families are invited. Some of the children's therapists from CCMH and GOBHI-WRAP will be at the Kid's Haven so community members can ask questions and become more comfortable with the importance of children's mental health. We will also provide snacks and offer tours of the facility. I've attached the flier below.

Recipients receive this award because of the spirit of togetherness they've demonstrated to help McBride continue to be strong. You may nominate staff from McBride, staff from St. Helens School District, parents from McBride, community members from McBride/St. Helens - anyone that demonstrates working 'together' to help McBride continue to be the incredible school and community that it is.
