Join us for McKinley-Thatcher Elementary’s VERY FIRST Colorado Gives Day campaign on Tuesday, December 10!
Organized by the Colorado Gives Foundation, Colorado Gives Day is a special day each December where donations made to Colorado nonprofits, including McKinley-Thatcher, are automatically boosted by the Foundation!
From Friday, November 1 through Tuesday, December 10, every donation will be boosted by a $1 million Incentive Fund, thanks to the Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. Plus, set up a new monthly donation, and your first gift will be matched up to $100! It’s a powerful way to double your impact and support our amazing students and teachers at McKinley-Thatcher.
Help make our first Colorado Gives Day a success! Thank you for supporting our school and students.
With gratitude,
MCT PTA
We have seen an increase in unsafe driving behavior during our morning drop-off time (7:15 a.m. – 7:35 a.m.). Please make sure that you are following the NEW expectations outlined below if you drop off your child in the front oval Kiss-and-Go line at our main door.
If you want to enter the building, play on the playground, or sign in an ECE student, please find a spot in the neighborhood to park. You may NOT park in the front oval. Instead, we suggest parking on Logan Street in the 1-hour spaces on the west side of the street.
Dropping off students or parking in the staff parking lots (west lot and alleyway lot) is prohibited, as the lots also serve as a walkway for our students coming to and from school.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for our students!

Most Fridays from November through May, we are planning to hand out books from our donation boxes for FREE to our students after school. If you’d like to assist, please sign up here!
