We need volunteers like you!

Cultural Fair – March 12th
The PTA is planning a Cultural Fair to take place in March and we need your help. The Cultural Fair 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 students and staff during lunchtime in the month of February!

We need volunteers to assist during lunchtime and recess to ensure students eat lunch, clean up after themselves and stay safe during recess play. Just one lunchtime per week (more or less if you’d like) from 11:45am – 1:00pm.

Volunteers have the opportunity to utilize or build skills in conflict management, basic first aid and social coaching skills will be developed.

Read the requirements and learn more about this great volunteer opportunity here.
