* It is YEARBOOK time!!! Yearbook info is coming home and the yearbooks will cost $10 if you order before January 28th, after that you can purchase a yearbook for $12 until they are sold out. You will need to give your order form and money to Mrs. Spackman in the office and checks are to be made out to McKinley Elementary. We need your photos: If you have any photos that you have taken for individual class activities or for school functions that you can share to be put in the yearbook, here is how to submit them: (1) E-mail them to Tracy Joseph at tracylou77@hotmail.com. (2) Put the images on a CD and drop them off in the office labeled YEARBOOK. (3) If you have actual prints, you will either need to scan them onto a disc or make an extra print of them to drop off in an envelope to the office because CDs and photos cannot be returned. If you have any questions, you can contact Tracy Joseph at 854-7350. All photo submissions must be turned in by January 28th!!! THANKS so much!!!
* The Box Tops Competition for the month of January will be the 2nd Grade classes. You can bring in the following items: Box Tops, Cream of Weber lids, Campbell’s Soup labels, empty Elmer’s glue stick tubes/glue bottles and empty Neosporin tubes. Make sure Box Tops are cut out along the dotted lines and the soup labels are just the UPC with the point value.
