Fundraising Year to Date:
We set some ambitious goals this year from a fundraising standpoint so that we can continue to support our students and teachers. And, we are excited to share, that we are already exceed our goals! We set a goal of fundraising $24,000 for the Wolf Run - and we brought in over $24,200! We also started off our dine out fundraising nights with a bang - raising over $322 at our first event at Chipotle! We are excited to keep this trend going.
​
Lost & Found at Mckay:
The lost and found is already full! If your kids are missing a coat, hat, scarf, gloves, shoes, waterbottle, etc. come check outhte lost and found before or after school.
​
We also recommend labeling your student's clothing and gear with permanent marker so that those items have a better chance at making it home!
​
Updates on the future of McKay:
Conversations around declining enrollment in the district are continuing to happen, especially in light of the rebuild of Raleigh Hills elementary. These conversations were primarily happening within a committee called the Long Range Facilities Planning Committee, which recently wrapped up and solidified recommendations on how to manage facilities going forward. The recommendations included looking at feeder patterns, school boundaries, Ed Spec and how to handle schools with under "utilization". Next up: The Superintendendent of Facilities is presenting the results to the Board in March for approval.
PTC member, Erin Harper, sat on the committee and is happy to share any updates - please email her at erincarsonharper@gmail.com.

Who is the PTC and what do we actually do? We are parents and guardians who are committed to supporting McKay students and staff.
We organize the after-school events, fundraising activities, and volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. We meet monthly with Principal Ms. Kollings and teacher liaison Ms. Douglass to talk about both short- and long-term projects.
​
If you have ideas about something you'd like to see at school, please come to a meeting! All families are welcome! This is a great way to meet and connect with other families and really make a difference in our great school.
The McKay Elementary School Parent Teacher Club recognizes the vital role we play in supporting our students and their families. We are committed to ensuring that every child in our community has an equal opportunity to thrive academically and socially, regardless of their economic background. Funds we raise throughout the year directly support a variety of critical initiatives that enrich our students' educational experiences.
We are passionate about making sure all students have equal opportunities to succeed and that diverse perspectives are acknowledged, respected, and celebrated.
