<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHelp Us Raise Jog-A-Thon Funds and Qualify for These Great Incentives!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Did you know your child can earn some fantastic prizes by raising money for the Jog-A-Thon? The incentives include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individual Student Incentives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Grade-level incentives <\/strong>(TK and Kinder are combined as one grade level):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n School-wide incentives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If we reach our stretch goal of $65,000<\/strong> \u2013 all the above PLUS students will get to have a NINJA WARRIOR BLOW UP COURSE<\/strong> during a special recess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember to create your child\u2019s pledge page here<\/a> and share with friends near and far via email and social media. The McKinley PTA could use some volunteer help to help generate energy (and donations) for this year’s jog-a-thon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event will be held on Friday, October 1, so we’d like some people to help promote the event on campus during drop-off and pick-up during the weeks leading up to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll provide you with signs to walk around near the Gateway at drop-off, near the front office during TK\/K pickup, or around the Gateway and then the PACS area during the later pickups — you just bring the energy (along with music, costumes and\/or props if you’d like)! Email event organizers Nina Jarnum (ninajarnumyoga@gmail.com<\/a>) or Renee McArdle (renee_mcardle@att.net<\/a>) with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PTA is creating email lists for each classroom so that your class parent can send out important messages about events, teacher appreciation, and other class-specific announcements. You only have to fill out the form below once for all your students enrolled at McKinley\/PACS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Add your information to the Class Email List Form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you so much to those of you who have filled out this form already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us at the main McKinley entrance Friday, September 24th at around 8:30am after morning drop-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy a free cup of coffee, meet new families, discuss the prior week\u2019s PTA meeting and learn how to get involved. Notes from the PTA meeting will be available in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More details here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Enjoy traditional Mexican dishes made with the freshest local ingredients.

Ms. Schlueter and Mrs. Lupe Diaz were a fantastic team, and ensured all participants had fun. Congratulations to our September Bingo winners below!
