PTO News
Welcome back Skippers! The McKinley PTO is looking forward to a great 2019! We'd like to start with a most sincere THANK YOU to ALL of our homeroom helpers and volunteers for providing our students with special and memorable classroom parties to end 2018! So grateful for your commitment to making McKinley such a great place to learn and grow!
Looking forward, do your New Year resolutions include getting more involved? The McKinley PTO is eager to help ♡ Our next meeting is this Thursday January 10th at 6pm in the McKinley gym as always students are welcome to attend (with their parent). We will be forming a committee for the school carnival and having a presentation on PBIS by Mrs. Elmore and getting a heads up on Literacy Night with Ms. Healan.
The PTO has a lot of fun events planned for the remainder of the school year and could use all the help we can get!
Our most immediate need is for a few volunteers to help with set up, concessions and take down for our 2 January events. Pizza Bingo Friday 1-11-19 AND Family Game Night Friday 1-18-19. Please pm us on Facebook or text Christina at 440-479-5042. Look forward to a great remainder of the school year. Hope to see you at a meeting or event soon!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK MCKINLEY SKIPPERS!
