McKinley was visited by Mrs. Claus yesterday! Ask your child to tell you about it. :)





We want to say THANK YOU to District 285 of Sioux Falls Zone of Frito Lay for sponsoring "Toys for Tots" at McKinley!



The matinee performance of 3rd/4th grade's concert went great! Tonight the doors will open at 6:15. Your child may go to their classrooms. The concert starts at 6:30.




We went outside today! Please send snowpants, boots, gloves, hats and coats every day.



Boys & Girls Club is offering a FREE month in December!


Please remind your child to bring their boots and snow pants everyday! It keeps them warm outside and allows them to play in the snow. If you need any winter gear for your child, please call the school 882-6350.

Just a reminder that GIFT is running today and tomorrow this week!
