Dear McDonald Elementary Families,


March has been an exciting and eventful month! We want to extend our gratitude to all the fourth and fifth grade boys and girls who participated in March Madness. Your teamwork and enthusiasm made it a fantastic experience! We are excited to cheer on our McDonald winning teams as they compete against Willow Dale and Davis students this Monday at Davis at 4:30 PM. Best of luck to our teams!


Additionally, we encourage everyone to support our students who will be participating in the Reading Olympics this Tuesday at Council Rock South at 6:00 PM. Their dedication to reading and teamwork is inspiring, and we know they will make us proud!

Pi Day Pizza Party!

On Friday, March 14th, the 5th-grade students in C21 celebrated Pi Day in the most delicious way—by making their own pizza pies! As they explored the mathematical magic of π, students shaped their dough into circles, added circular toppings like pepperoni and (pi)neapple rings, and measured the circumference and diameter of their creations. After baking—thanks to our amazing cafeteria staff—they re-measured their pizzas and, of course, enjoyed every bite of their tasty math lesson. Learning has never been so cheesy and fun! 🍕🎉

McDonald School’s 2025 Book Battle Crowns a Winner!

During Read Across America Week (March 3-7), students and staff at McDonald School dove into the joy of reading with the annual Book Battle! In the weeks leading up to the event, students listened to sixteen captivating picture books in their classrooms. Each day of Read Across America Week, they voted for their favorites, narrowing the field until just two books remained—Mr. Walker Steps Out by Lisa Graff and the beloved classic Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. In the final vote, Harold and the Purple Crayon emerged as the 2025 Book Battle champion! This engaging event not only sparked excitement but also encouraged students to explore new stories and celebrate the magic of reading. 📚✨
