Come join us at our \u201cAncestor\u2019s Table: You Belong at McKinley- Where Else Do You Belong?\u201d on Saturday!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The McKinley PTA is excited to announce a FREE community event taking place on Saturday, March 12th, at 11 AM at our beautiful Mc<\/strong>Kinley School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to celebrate the diversity of our students by sharing food, music, and culture from where your family calls home.\u00a0 Don\u2019t know where you\u2019re 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. Join us for an event to come together as a McKinley family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to help your teacher in a fun and rewarding way?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a recent survey of McKinley staff, the #1 ask 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one recess (10:05 – 10:45 am) or lunchtime (11:45 am – 1:00pm) per week (more or less if you\u2019d like), one-month commitment to start. We welcome a longer commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
