Our PTA’s annual Chili Cook-Off is coming up on Friday, January 26 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm in our school cafeteria! We’ll have food and fun for the whole family, including $1 cake walk entries, other free activities, and free ice cream samples thanks to the Stir-Pan Creamery!

Attendees can enter a chili to compete for prizes or donate to our cake walk using our SignUpGenius or by returning the paper form in your child’s January 12 Friday Folder to the main office.

Just a reminder that Round 1 of the 2024-2025 SchoolChoice Application Window opened yesterday (Thursday, January 11) and runs through 4:00pm on Monday, February 12!
All families with students entering ECE, kindergarten, 6th grade, or 9th grade next school year should complete a SchoolChoice application during the Round 1 window to sign up for a space at their preferred school. Visit schoolchoice.dpsk12.org to learn more and to start your application!
Current McKinley families with students going into 1st through 5th grade do not need to complete a SchoolChoice application in order for their student to continue at McKinley-Thatcher next year.

Our PTA needs donations for our upcoming auction, Shine, on Friday, March 1, 2024. This is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we need you all to help make it a success! Handmade items, sharing a skill, fine wine or liquor, time at a vacation home – whatever it is you have to give, we’re so grateful!
Please let us know using this Google form.
We’re happy to take donations until February 9, and request donation items in hand by February 14 so we can get them posted to our auction site.
We have some great volunteers helping us solicit local businesses but could always use extra help. We’ll provide the tools, but we need your feet and voice! Email mctauction@gmail.com and we’ll get you set up.
