Celebrate Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week!
Join our PTA as they celebrate Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week from Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8! Choose a day or two (or all five!) to show our teachers & staff members how much they are loved and appreciated. Participation is optional.
Two Reminders From Our PTA:
- Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is not limited to classroom teachers. McKinley has an amazing staff that supports our students every day; be sure to include them. Click here to see the staff directory on our website!
- Please note, gifts of appreciation can be sent in with students or dropped off at the front office, but may not be delivered to the classroom by visitors during school hours. Thank you!
