Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
I want to thank you all for the effort, passion, love, and energy you give to McKinley! You are truly remarkable educators - I am honored to serve our McKinley students along side you! I hope you were able to feel the celebration and your "why" this week!
I Appreciate Teachers So Hard...
End of the Year Activities:
A big thank you to the volunteers who joined in helping with the organization of the end of the year activities and celebrations!
Celebrate Week: We are planning for the week of May 18-22 to be a Celebration Week. We will be including options for events so that students and teachers can celebrate all of the successes from the year. More information will be coming soon! Kate shared a slide for you to link a video of yourself reading your favorite book! You can share these with students the week of 5/18, so please have them linked in before that date. Questions can be directed to Kate Seifert or Kayla.
Track Meet: The PE department has plans underway to do a virtual track meet on Tuesday, May 26th! This will likely look like a choice board of options for kids and a way to share their activities. More information will come out next week! Questions can be directed to Tom, Kyle, Luke, Sami, Kayla, Katie Schuster or Libby.
End of Year Stations: This will be like the "last day" stations we've done in the past. We will do this on Friday, May 29th. Staff can sign up stations for kids to come on for. They can join others around the building and lead an activity. We brainstormed some activities already that are down at the bottom. This would be for all staff like it is at the end of the year. Staff would only need to sign up for one slot. We will also have a time at the end of the day that students could click on teacher's links and pop on to say goodbye to have some closure. Questions can be directed to Dani, Karla or Catie Stephani.
End of Year Student Slideshow: There will be an end of the year slideshow of pictures put together for students. If each staff member would upload up to 5 pictures to this folder by Friday, 5/22, then we should have enough to put something special together to be shared the last week of May! Questions can be directed to Katie Schuster.
End of Year Goodbye from Staff Slideshow: We want to send the kids off with a slideshow of pictures of us too with our wishes for them! Take a picture of yourself with a sign responding to one of the following prompts (you don't need to list the prompt on your sign, just your response):
"What I Love About McKinley Students..." (Their passion, their smiles, etc)
"My wish for you over the summer is..." (Get outside, Go learn outdoors, Enjoy your family, etc)
"My message to you is..." (Be Kind, Read a Book, Keep Learning)
*Please make sure your response a sentence of less. Also, feel free to have some funny responses, too.
End of Year Parade: Thursday, June 4th from 4:30-5:30 we will do a driving through the neighborhood parade so we can see many students' faces one last time this year. We will meet in the Mck parking lot at 4:15 to get all lined up and ready to go! Here's the map and information that will be sent to families. Questions can be directed to Libby or Sami.
