Student Council Food Drive

McKinley Student Council is holding a food drive to collect food for the local food pantry.

Please send any canned or packaged food items (soup, macaroni and cheese, sauce packets, canned beans, spaghetti-os, corn, etc.) with your child to school and have them give them to their teacher.

Let's help our local food pantry stock up their shelves for the Holidays.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Sam's Club Treasure Hunt Event

Sam's Club will be holding a Treasure Hunt Event that goes along to our Ken Garff "Road to Success" Reading Program.

It will be on November 17th all day at your local Sam's Club.

You will need to go to the Customer Service Desk and ask for a map and collect stamps at different areas on the map.  When completed, go to the Customer Service Desk to receive a prize and turn in your map to the school.  If our school has the most maps, we could win a tablet computer for our school.

Even if you don't have a Sam's Club membership, you will receive one free for this day only and if you sign up for a new membership or renew your current membership, you will receive a $10 gift card.

A note will be coming home with more info on this event.

Grandparent Involvement

Hey Parents,

A grandparent to one of the students at McKinley asked us today how grandparents can find out what is going on at the school so they can be more involved.  Please share with them the monthly newsletter, tell them about upcoming activities, and give them our BLOG site so they can check it out online.  There are many grandparents who want to support their grandchildren by helping out and/or attending school and PTA activities and we gladly and openly welcome them and appreciate their help and support.

THANKS!!!  PTA
