SUPPORT MCKINLEY SCHOOL WITH AN ONLINE DONATION

 
We are deeply disappointed to have had to cancel the McKinley Carnival due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. As our primary fundraiser, the loss of this event places many of our enrichment opportunities and educational programs that benefit our students at risk. We are sincerely grateful for any contribution you choose to make support in support of McKinley PTA and our school community of students, staff and families. You can make a donation online here. Any amount makes an impact and is welcome!
