McKinley Families,

This Friday, September 4th, McKinley would like to show our support for a local family going through a very difficult time. McKinley's monthly focus for August and September is based around building community which can oftentimes mean showing up to support those in times of need.

This Friday students are encouraged to wear their favorite sports gear or school spirit gear. Students are also welcome to bring any amount of donation if they choose to do so. We know every dollar can make a difference as this family navigates a difficult road ahead. Student Council will also be selling Smickers during the day for $1 with all proceeds going directly to the family.

Let's fill our halls on Friday with school spirit, kindness, and community!
