Winter Break is finally here! We have an exciting and fun week ahead!
Please join us for our 2nd grade Holiday Concert tomorrow (Tuesday) at Harding High School @ 6:30pm!
Last week, the 5th grade band had their holiday holiday concert on Thursday. They did a fantastic job and are to be commended for getting up early each morning and dedicating their time to learning an instrument. They all demonstrated the Learner Profile attribute of Risk Taker by getting on stage and sharing their learning on the stage!! Great job band students.
I was pleased to accept the grant award from The Alliance for Working Together (AWT) on Thursday. We were awarded 2,500 dollars toward the purchase of several Lego Mindstorms Robotics kits for our STEAM lab. This will be a great way to kick off our Computer Science immersion efforts at McKinley. The students will be very excited to explore these robots in STEAM lab!
This week we will have the Holiday Shop December 17-20th!
Christmas Classroom parties will be at 1:45pm on the 21st (instead of 2pm), this is in order to allow the student more time to enjoy their parties. Also, please note that parents attending the party will not be permitted unless they are volunteering for the parties in the classroom. Attendees MUST be listed by the room parent on the list at the office. Additional guests will not be permitted. We thank you for your cooperation.
The PTO has 2 family friendly events planned to kick off the new year. January 11th will be a Pizza Bingo and January 18th will be a family game night. This is a great way to meet new families and visit with old friends! We will be seeking volunteers to help with both events!
If you can help please contact Christina at (440) 479-5042 or message McKinley PTO on Facebook. Thank you all for your support! Please join us at our next meeting to find out how you can get involved 1-10-18 @ 6pm in the McKinley gym.
