All members of the McKinley-Thatcher school community are invited to attend our Parent-Teacher Association’s (PTA) Last Day of School Party on Friday, May 29 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM on our playground! 

Please note: children may NOT attend the party alone. Please pick your child up at our 11:30 AM dismissal, then accompany them to the party.
