Share About Your Culture and Host a Table at Our Ancestor’s Table Event – Saturday, March 12th at 11am.
We will be hosting an “Ancestor’s Table: You Belong at McKinley- Where Else Do You Belong?” on Saturday, March 12th at 11am.
We want to celebrate the diversity of our students by sharing food, music, and culture from where your family calls home. Don’t know where you’re from? We invite you to share anything you identify with as being part of your history, anything that shows where else you belong as a family.
Do you want to host a table with food, information or activities about your culture?

Volunteer call for Ancestor’s Table and Our Spring Fundraiser
Ancestor’s Table – March 12th
The PTA is planning an Ancestor’s Table event to take place in March and we need your help. The Ancestor’s Table will allow families to share about their culture and discuss what we learned and what we have in common as a diverse group.
Spring Fundraiser – May 14th
We are looking for a few enthusiastic volunteers to help plan and execute the raffle portion of our spring fundraiser. (More details about the event coming soon!)
This is a great opportunity to connect with other families and help us raise much needed funds to benefit every McKinley/PACS student.
If you’d like to volunteer or learn more about these opportunities, contact Emily Oh at .
Support our teachers and students by volunteering for lunch duty!
In a recent survey of McKinley staff, the #1 request was for more parent support. One of the ways staff identified we could help is by volunteering out on the blacktop during recess and lunch, allowing staff more time to focus on meeting the complex needs of their students.
Volunteers will support recess and/or lunchtime eating/recess for 1st through 8th graders (parents of TK and K also welcome to volunteer). You will ensure students eat snack/lunch, clean up after themselves and stay safe during recess play. Volunteers have the opportunity to utilize or build skills in conflict management, basic first aid and social coaching skills will be developed.
Do you want to be in the room where it happens? Join the PTA Board!
Would you like to have a front row seat for PTA decision making (including how we spend our money?!)? We have started recruiting for our 2022-2023 board and we have a few key positions available!
Would you like more information about a board position or have any questions or ideas for the PTA? Email Emily Oh at . We appreciate the collaborative and dedicated spirit of our McKinley family!
