Mac El Weekly News

The sounds of our students playing outside this week were wonderful! Unfortunately, spring hasn't arrived yet, and the weather is expected to get colder again, with the possibility of snow. So, please make sure that your child has a coat, hat, gloves, and appropriate clothing when they come to school on Monday!

As Valentine's Day is approaching next week, we would like to take a moment to appreciate the kindness demonstrated by our students towards each other. We are fortunate to have many students who care for one another, make new friends, include others, share, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Thank you for instilling the values of kindness and respect in your children at home. We witness their acts of kindness every day and we are grateful for it.

The PTO Fundraiser kickoff was on Thursday, 02/01/24. Your child has been given forms to bring home. Please make sure to read the information and keep it safe. Keep track of any money collected. The packet contains information if you want your child to sell to people through email or text. You can find the instructions on the front of the package envelope that was sent home. Remember, order forms and money are due by February 15th.

Thank you for supporting the PTO. PTO supports our students, teachers, and families in many ways. With your help, we were able to purchase the Book Vending Machine and all the books, provide Family Fun Nights, games and equipment for students, and so much more!
