  • Just a reminder that all students can eat breakfast for free at school! Breakfast is served in our cafeteria from 7:15am to 7:25am; students must arrive early in order to eat breakfast. Unlike last year, we are not offering “grab & go” style breakfast, so it’s very important to come early enough to eat in the cafeteria. Thank you!

  • Destination Imagination at McKinley-Thatcher: does your child like solving challenges, working with others, being creative, and striving to reach a goal? If so, Destination Imagination’s STEAM-based (science, tech, engineering, arts, and math) challenges might be a great fit! Destination Imagination prepares kids to be the innovators of the future by combining the arts, sciences, and technology with creativity, teamwork, and problem solving. If your child would like to participate, return the form that went home in today’s Friday Folders or complete the Google form at tinyurl.com/MCTDI2022. Contact Allison Gleichman at agleichman@gmail.com or (303) 229-6011 with questions!

  • Just a reminder: there’s still time to complete your Meal Benefits application at www.myschoolapps.com before the end of the day today! The first three classrooms to have all their applications completed will win a popsicle party next week! For help or more information, visit this webpost.
